Transparency International Nepal Urges Newly Elected Officials to End 'Looting' Under Democracy's Cover

Kathmandu. Transparency International Nepal has urged the newly elected people's representatives and political parties to end the practice of looting under the guise of democracy. 

Concluding that the results of the recently held House of Representatives election demonstrated the Nepali people's desire for good governance and prosperity in an unprecedented manner, the organization drew attention to using power and authority for public interest rather than private or partisan interests. 

In a statement issued by Chairman Madan Krishna Sharma, congratulations were extended to all political parties, including the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), which emerged embracing the sentiment and involvement of the younger generation, and all the elected representatives. 

The statement read, 'This election, which succeeded in sidelining the political parties and representatives responsible for weakening and paralyzing the country's condition to an unimaginable extent due to extreme corruption, mocking the rule of law, has added public trust in the democratic system.' 

The organization stated that the upcoming House of Representatives and the federal government must fully respect this unprecedented mandate and trust given by the citizens. The organization expects the government to work in a way that provides a clear sense of good governance to the general public without any excuses or delays, remaining fully committed to the promises made to the people while seeking votes during the election.
