Dyamn,
You can trace my postings in sajha. I am not UML supporter, nor do I know MKN. But I know about his family from newspaper reports. His brothers got controversial appointments and so the news is all over. His father released a book on grammar, which was bimochaned by Madhav Ghimire the national poet,  and so he was also in the news. It may be news to you, but a lot of people have no political affiliation and alot of people defend others even when they are not their relative.

No one says MKN is an efficient ruler. But even Maoists have admitted personally that he is relatively an honest man. Hari Roka, who is now so reverred by Maoists, once told this author that he fell out with MKN because MKN told him to stop drinking alcohol. I couldn't believe but Roka admitted it, and even wrote about it in some newspaper. This kind of personal animosity is what made Prachanda angry with MKN, otherwise Prachanda himself appointed him to the position of MP.

Finally, until we know for sure his relatives own shitload of money, I am not in a business to spread rumor. There are other corrupt politicians in Nepal and by pursuing a wrong man, we serve no purpose. When I looked at his property, it didn't give me any reason to think he was a corrupt man or that he earned his property after  becoming PM. His wife used to work in a bank even when he was DPM long ago, and they lived relatively modest life. So, why not we find out fault in his policies and criticize them, rather than personally hounding him for what is surely a nonreason?
