Asset Probe Commission Move Welcomed, Calls for Transparency and Fair Process

Nepal Development Watch has welcomed the government’s decision to form a high-level commission to investigate the assets of officials who have held high public office since 2006, calling it a key step toward transparency and accountability.

In a statement issued on the occasion of Nepali New Year 2083, the organization also congratulated the government for advancing its 100-point reform agenda introduced after the formation of a new government on March 27, 2026, under Prime Minister Balen Shah. The plan covers major areas such as governance reform, public service delivery, corruption control, investment, and human development.

The organization stressed the need for a fair, transparent, and lawful process in asset investigations and welcomed commitments to anti-corruption measures and inclusion. However, it raised concerns about the proposed ban on student organizations, urging a balanced approach that protects democratic rights.

It also emphasized long-term solutions for landless farmers, improvements in public transport safety, and the need for measurable targets to improve global indices.
