Kathmandu. The Revenue Investigation Department has been accused of serious charges. This department, which is under Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, has been accused of collecting huge amounts of money from small and big traders in the name of the Prime Minister.
Amrita Devi Agrahari, a member of parliament from the ruling party CPN-UML, has said that revenue investigation is also causing suffering to small traders. Speaking in the House of Representatives on Thursday (Magh 24), she said, “I want to draw the government’s attention to the fact that the Revenue Investigation Department is doing a lot of injustice to small traders on the border of Nepal and India. Aren’t small traders who have houses on the border Nepalese? The Revenue Investigation Department is doing a lot of injustice to traders who earn their living by doing small jobs. They are going to Butwal with 20 quintals of mustard to sell, and the Investigation Department team is catching them. And they took the mustard to the Revenue Investigation Office and returned it. They also returned the person, for which they had to pay 3 million rupees.”
MP Agrahari has alleged that he had to pay 3 million rupees to the Revenue Investigation Department to release 20 quintals of mustard. Rashtriya Prajatantra Party Chairman Rajendra Dingden has alleged that the Revenue Investigation Department is collecting crores of rupees.
Lingden said in the House of Representatives on Friday (Magh 19), targeting Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, “The Revenue Investigation Department under you says that it is still an office under the Prime Minister, we are under the Prime Minister, do not tell any other leader, if you tell any leader, you will still get hurt, they are harassing traders and collecting money. Everyone knows that if you raid a businessman now, he might not have any goods that are not in accordance with the bill, but he has not only connived at it, but also taken advantage of the open border, and the Revenue Investigation Department under the Prime Minister is still doing its job of advising him to come and raid. I want to tell the Prime Minister this. People around you are offering crores and crores for appointments, you are saying with a bang that I will not commit corruption. I will not allow it, but you do it or you do not do it, but those around you are doing it. I think he is unaware of the information. Like the king of the Panchatantra, you are walking around wearing clothes that only the righteous can see, which the sinners cannot see. I am doing the work of that guardian, you are naked. Corruption is still rampant. They are also taking money from the payments of construction entrepreneurs.”
Recently, MPs have been continuously raising questions about the revenue investigation. Director General Chandi Ghimire, who is only a few months away from retirement, has been accused of growing ambition.
