Balen Government Moves to Implement Inquiry Commission Report on 'Genji Movement', Potentially Targeting Former PM Oli
Kathmandu. Following the government's decision to implement the recommendations made by the inquiry commission led by Gauribahadur Karki regarding the 'Genji Movement,' former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and others are now set to face legal action.
The cabinet led by Balen Shah made the decision to put the Karki Commission's report into effect during its first meeting held on Friday.
With this decision, former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, then Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak, and then IGP Chandra Kuber Khapung, among those found guilty in the 'Genji Movement,' will face legal proceedings. The commission has recommended a jail sentence of up to 10 years for them.
Newly appointed government spokesperson Sasmit Pokharel informed that regarding the security apparatus among the individuals and bodies recommended for action by the commission, the cabinet decided to form a study committee, and action will be taken based on the recommendations submitted by that committee.
Regarding Oli and others, he stated that the decision was made to direct the relevant bodies (including the Home Ministry) to immediately implement the commission's recommendations.
What is the process?
After the cabinet's decision and direction from the Home Ministry, the police will proceed with the investigation against Oli and others based on the report. During the investigation, after collecting evidence, the police will send the case to the government attorney for prosecution. The government attorney's office will make the final decision on whether to file the case in court or not. In such a situation, the Office of the Attorney General has the authority to direct or not direct the government attorney's office.
