Kathmandu, May 18:
Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister, Narayan Kaji Shrestha, has said the government was constantly working to put an end to corruption and the practice of undue commission taking.
During a meeting with members of Overseas Coordination Committee and Nepali intellectuals working abroad, close to the CPN (Maoist Centre), today, DPM Shrestha said he was constantly working to end the corruption and the support of Nepali ‘diaspora’ was necessary for the same.
Saying economic prosperity and country’s development was not possible without ending corruption and the rent-seeking culture, he expressed the determination that the government would not spare anyone involved in corruption and financial irregularities.
The Deputy Prime Minister mentioned, “The government does not accuse anyone without evidence for unnecessary and cheap popularity.”
He further said that he has got strong support of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ to take the fake Bhutanese refugees scam to a conclusion.
On the occasion, the Overseas Coordination Committee drew government’s attention to take stern action against those involved in fraud, human trafficking, crime against the State as well as other illegal activities.
Committee Chairperson Om Sharma, Joint In-charge Laxman Panta, Secretary Tek Bahadur Pathak and members Surendra Bhusal, Manarishi Dhital, Dr Krishna Kumar Shrestha, among others, were in the delegation.
