Khatiwada responsible for ‘cooling off period’ issue: Parliamentary Inquiry Committee

Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक

Kathmandu — The Parliamentary Inquiry Special Committee has concluded that Nepali Congress MP and Chairman of the State Affairs Committee Ramhari Khatiwada is morally responsible for the errors seen in the report on the Federal Civil Service Bill. The role of some employees, including Khatiwada, is also clearly mentioned in the investigation report prepared by the committee.

According to the investigation committee, it has been seen that even high-ranking employees have failed to behave in a manner befitting their positions. The committee has concluded that if they had understood their official responsibilities, such a big error would not have occurred in the writing of the bill report.

The report submitted to the House of Representatives bears the signatures of Chairman of the State Affairs Committee Ramhari Khatiwada and Secretary Suraj Kumar Dura, and their names have been mentioned in the report. According to a member of the committee, “Both Khatiwada and Dura have been mentioned in the report because political officials are politically and morally responsible.”

Similarly, although it is mentioned that the Chief Secretary and other employees will be held accountable both officially and legally, the name of the Chief Secretary is not mentioned in the report.

Kathmandu. The ruling party, the CPN-UML, has demanded the resignation of the chairman of the State Affairs and Good Governance Committee.

In today’s meeting of the State Affairs and Good Governance Committee under the House of Representatives, UML MP Padam Giri has demanded the resignation of committee chairman Ramhari Khatiwada, taking responsibility for the mischief done on the Civil Service Bill.

The committee meeting is currently discussing the manipulation of the ‘cooling off period’ provision in the Civil Service Bill. Participating in the discussion, former Law Minister Giri said that the chairman should resign, taking responsibility, as he was the last signatory to the report. He also demanded the resignation of the committee’s secretary, Suraj Kumar Dura.

‘The committee passed the cooling off period for 2 years after months of discussion. However, the report, which was signed by the chairman and secretary, was presented in a different way. This is a shameful and disgusting situation in the history of Nepal. It is unimaginable that people’s representatives would work to this extent. Therefore, the chairman and secretary should resign, taking responsibility.’

He suggested paving the way on the basis of morality. Now the secretary cannot continue to hold this position,’ he said.
