NOV 07 - The Finance Committee of the Legislature-Parliament has directed the government to not implement the directives issued by the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) to cancel the licences of Kabeli among other hydropower projects.
A meeting of the finance committee held at Singha Durbar, Kathmandu, on Friday issued such order after reaching a conclusion that the CIAA’s directives would dissuade the investments in hydropower projects and the nation would have to endure more load shedding hours.
The parliamentary committee has also objected to the statement given by CIAA Chief Lok Man Singh Karki over the jurisdiction of the parliamentary Finance Committee.
Earlier this week, CIAA Chief Karki had said that only parliamentary Good Governance and Monitoring Committee could summon the anti-graft body chief for clarifications.
“The parliamentary regulations give the right to summon any individual for discussion, statement or inquiry,” said Jwala, “No one can disregard these regulations of a sovereign parliament.”
The parliamentary committee summoned Karki for clarifications after the anti-graft body directed the government to terminate the licence of 37.6 MW Kabeli-A Hydropower Project .
