Dozens of scandals have surfaced, yet, they have not been investigated or partially investigated and many of the files have been kept impending. In a recent report that appeared in an online portal, Keshab Dulal, the main planner of sending Nepalis to the USA undercover of the Bhutani refugees, has claimed that he had handed over 10 million rupees to Rajesh Bajracharya, principal private secretary of PM K.P. Sharma Oli to accomplish the plan. Some of the leaders involved in the scam are still in jail but we are not aware that the Police team conducted any investigation about the monetary deal between Dulal and Bajracharya. The Maoist Center alleges that when the government led by Pushpakamal Dahal started an investigation into the scandals, the government was toppled by the present NC-UML coalition government. When the investigation team reached out to senior leaders in the NC and UML, the supreme leaders of both parties overnight agreed to form a coalition government of the largest and second largest parties in the government.
Anticorruption campaigner Durga Prasain was detained by the police on the charge of misusing social media and disinforming people. Prasain had produced a document claiming that K.P. Oli had invested billions of rupees in a telecom company in Cambodia. Many legal experts claim that once it has been blamed, this is the subject of an investigation by the Police team.
Just recently, a businessman close to Pushpakamal Dahal attempted to capture the Shera Durwar property in Nuwakot. How financial scandals are taking place under the protection and support of the supreme leaders of the major political parties, these are the evidence.
We are the witness of the change in the lifestyle of the political leaders, who, before enjoying power, were seen in slippers in the streets, overnight, they have become multibillionaires.
The Nepal Rastra Bank is introducing one after another policy in transition money in the name of curbing money laundering. However, the very Bank is silent in investigating the source of income of the political leaders. Other concerned authorities have also remained silent on the investigation of the property of the political leaders who are spending lavish lifestyles today. The political leaders, once questioned, should welcome such investigation on the source of their earnings. It is important to end corruption and money laundering. If they avoid such investigation, sooner or later, people will come to the streets and punish those corrupt leaders.
