Kathmandu — Prime Minister Sushila Karki has announced the formation of a separate commission to investigate corruption, saying it is necessary as part of the mandate of the recent movement.

She explained that the commission would conduct investigations and create a foundation that would make it easier for the next government to act.

“In cases where corruption and irregularities are found, if we at least complete the investigation and bring them to the point of action, the government will be able to function. Our role is to pave the way,” Karki told in an interview.

The Prime Minister also revealed that a three-member commission will be formed to investigate the suppression of the Gen Z protests. The commission will initially be given one month to complete its work, with the option of a 15-day extension if needed. The Council of Ministers had already made a policy decision yesterday to establish the commission.

Karki added that since the government’s term is only six months, her goal is to achieve the maximum possible within this period.
