The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) in Nepal has registered a case against officials involved in corrupt practices related to the issuance of driving licenses at the Department of Transportation Management. The case was filed after an investigation revealed irregularities and misconduct in the process of issuing driver’s licenses.

This development comes as a significant blow to the integrity of the transportation system in Nepal, raising concerns about the safety and reliability of drivers on the roads. The CIAA’s action highlights the seriousness with which corruption is being addressed in the country’s bureaucratic institutions.

In response to this news, Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, expressed his disappointment at the unethical behavior of officials entrusted with ensuring the proper functioning of the transportation sector. He emphasized the need for strict measures to be taken to eradicate corruption and restore public trust in the system.

The investigation into the misuse of authority in the issuance of driver’s licenses underscores the importance of upholding transparency and accountability in government processes. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges that Nepal faces in combating corruption and promoting good governance in the public sector.
