Royal Commission quizzes two more ex-ministers: The Royal Commission for Corruption Control (RCCC) Tuesday interrogated two ministers of then Sher Bahadur Deuba government, Yuba Raj Gyawali and Jog Meher Shrestha, in connection with their alleged involvement in the arbitrary distribution of Dashain allowances to their party cadres and relatives. The RCCC released both on bail today. Gyawali, a senior CPN (UML) leader who was local development minister in then Deuba cabinet, registered his statement at the RCCC office in the afternoon. The RCCC has accused him of recommending for distribution of Rs.1.5 million out of the total Rs.4.5 million from the Prime Minister?s Relief Fund during last Dashain festival. ?We didn?t take or give any money personally. That was a cabinet decision,? he told reporters after the interrogation adding, ?What this government is going to do it is up to it.? Gyawali was released after he deposited property worth Rs.2.7 million as bail. Similarly, Shrestha, then physical planning minister, who is accused of arbitrarily distributing Rs.0.6 million out of the Fund, was interrogated by the commission members today. He paid Rs.1.3 million as bail for his release. RCCC spokesman Prem Raj Karki said on the interrogation, ?They were called for interrogation after information from various sources and our investigation proved that the fund was distributed by unlawful procedure.? Both the former ministers were summoned along with four others but did not appear at the RCCC. For the same charge, former ministers Dr Mohammad Mohsin, Purna Bahadur Khadka, Hom Nath Dahal and Badri Mandal were quizzed yesterday and were released on bail. News from Nepalnews.com, Mar 22 05
