Kathmandu: Minister for Home Affairs, Ramesh Lekhak, has asserted that the prevention of corruption and ensuring good governance are in top priorities of the incumbent government.

He argued that only a government formed by political parties periodically elected from the people will be capable of controlling corruption.
“All should trust the government and they should warn if there are weaknesses”, the Home Minister mentioned.

Home Minister Lekhak shared that the government has been seriously carrying out an investigation into the scam of Shera Durbar land in Nuwakot and action would be taken against the guilty.
The government would not remain silent on corruption cases, and misuse of government and public property, he shared, adding the government would bring back such property at any cost. (RSS)
