Jumla . One billion 38 million out of four billion beruju of Karnali province has been lost. The total income of Karnali province is 4 billion 34 million 1.5 million till now only 1 billion 38 million has been spent.
According to the report of the Public Accounts Committee of Karnali Province, one billion 38 million of the total beruju has been extorted. On Monday, the committee released its progress report.
Chairman of the committee Jit Bahadur Malla said that the progress of the work carried out by the committee during the period of 16 months has been announced. He mentioned that in the period of 16 months, one billion 38 million berujos were recovered and the rest of the berujos are still in the process of recovery.
He said that since the establishment of the province, out of a total of 4.34 billion 1.5 million beruju, the committee has succeeded in screening and inspecting 1.38 million.
The Office of the Auditor General showed more than four billion in losses of the Karnali Province government in the five years from 2074/075 to 2078/79. In the report of the Accountant General, it was also pointed out that after the implementation of federalism, the activities of economic irregularities are increasing the most in Karnali province.
The report also said that there were financial irregularities at the level of the people’s representatives and employees rather than the policy and legal process and they should be corrected immediately. As Karnali’s status is increasing, the Public Accounts Committee has informed that the expansion of the status has been carried out at a fast pace.
The committee has managed to spend 1 billion 38 crores through regular discussions, consultations and meetings with all the ministries under the provincial government and the subject offices of the relevant districts under the ministry.
According to the progress report, it is seen that the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Urban Development has the highest level of progress. The annual budget of this ministry alone is one billion 76 million 95 lakh 75 thousand. In this way, it is clear that there are more financial irregularities in the Ministry of Development and offices.
In addition to being active in the public accounting committee to reduce corruption, the district administration office, which has the responsibility of the district level authority, should also be strict in the payment process from development to construction. However, civic leader Raj Bahadur Mahat says that the role of the district administration and Swayam CDO is not effective in maintaining economic governance in the district.
