Kathmandu, November 27: What is the major duty of a government employee? It is about ensuring convenience to the common people through the delivery of services. But, some staffers associated with the country’s bureaucracy are indulged in amassing property rather than public service delivery.
The latest case signals how the bureaucracy is getting dysfunctional with corrupt staff. Nayab Subba, a non-gazetted first-class officer, at Land Revenue Office, Simara, Madan Prasad Gupta has amassed the property of Rs 150 million which does not have a legal source of income at all.
However, the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) finally netted him. Currently working as officiating chief of the Land Revenue Office, Gupta stashed such huge amount in 22 years since 2047 BS.
With this, the CIAA filed a case against him at the Special Court on Tuesday. The income Gupta made during this period with a legitimate source is only Rs 45 million. But the investigation found that he amassed the property worth Rs 148 million which has no legitimate source at all. The property Gupta has now is of Rs 191 million.
Gupta’s relatives including spouse Rita Devi and sons have also been named in the case in the regard, for they were found to be the accomplice in the corruption. RSS
