Council of Ministers

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) is prioritizing financial discipline and addressing the nation's significant arrears, which currently stand at Rs 755 billion. Separately, the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority has filed charges against three government witnesses in a corruption case at the Special Court for changing their testimonies. The Council of Ministers also failed to appoint a new chairman for the Securities Board of Nepal.

The Nepali government is preparing new regulations to govern colleges affiliated with foreign universities, according to Minister for Education and Sports Sasmit Pokharel. This initiative stems from numerous complaints regarding the operation of such institutions, with a draft regulation already sent to the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Law for feedback before cabinet approval.

The Property Inquiry Commission (PIC) in Kathmandu has begun requesting data from government and institutional bodies for a large-scale property verification exercise targeting over 25,000 public officials and political office-bearers. This initiative, directed by the Council of Ministers, aims to collect and investigate assets held by individuals in public office between fiscal year 2006/07 and mid-April 2026, including their families. The PIC is also soliciting public complaints regarding unnaturally acquired assets to prioritize investigations.
