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.
