Biratnagar, September 11
It has been seven months since the formation of provincial government in Province 1. However, three ministers of the five-member Cabinet are yet to submit property details and make them public.
Laws have it that all people holding public positions must make public their property details within 60 days since assuming the office.
Those violating the rule include Chief Minister Sher Dhan Rai, Financial Affairs and Planning Minister Indra Bahadur Angbo and Environment and Tourism Minister Jagadish Kusayat.
Only two ministers–Social Development Minister Jeevan Ghimire and Internal Affairs and Law Minister Hikmat Karki–have made their property details public within the deadline.
Members of the public are curious about the property of Chief Minister Rai, who is still unmarried and lives in a residence provided by the government.
