Qualified persons meeting all criteria have never been appointed in CIAA: Nidhi

Nepali Congress (NC) Vice-president Bimalendra Nidhi has said that qualified individuals meeting all the criteria prescribed by the Constitution have never been appointed at the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA).

Talking to Setopati about the constitutional anti-graft body, he accused the government of looking to recruit individuals who will work for them to fill the current vacancies. "We have set minimum qualification in the Constitution itself about what kind of persons to be made the chief commissioner and commissioners of CIAA. But individuals qualified based on those criteria have yet to be appointed," he stated.
