MP Nyaupane: Judicial Reform Essential for Good Governance and Anti-Corruption

Kathmandu. Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) MP Yagyamani Nyaupane has stated that establishing good governance and ending corruption in the country is not possible without restructuring the judiciary.

Writing a post on social media Facebook, MP Nyaupane commented that even ordinary citizens cannot guarantee justice in the current situation.

He pointed out that past series of events have made this clear and that it is time for a ruthless review of the judiciary. He warned that the longer this is delayed, the more unimaginable the delay will feel.

Earlier on Friday, former Finance Minister Bishnu Paudel was ordered to be released on general bail by the Special Court. Special Court judges Narayan Prasad Paudel, Dilliratna Shrestha, and Bidur Koirala ordered his release on general bail on Friday.

The Department of Investigation of Money Laundering filed a charge sheet against Paudel on Thursday for offenses related to money laundering in the Special Court. The department had sought a claim of 20 crore 90 lakh against Paudel. After the hearing on detention on Friday, the court ordered Paudel to be kept on general bail for the trial.

'All bodies of the state must embrace change,' wrote MP Nyaupane, 'Only then is it possible to change the country.'

He also clarified that he did not say this out of any impulse. He stated that this is not an understanding reached out of impulse but a conclusion reached from serious review.
