Policy-level corruption mushrooming: RPP chair Thapa

Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) chair Kamal Thapa has said policy-level corruption has flourished in the country.

In his address to a press meet organised in Dhangadhi today, the former minister said a slogan for significant change was limited to corruption.

"Corruption is prevalent in the country in the cover of democracy which is a grave challenge of the time," he warned, adding time demanded people’s interventions against institutional and policy-level corruption mushrooming in the country.

In his response to journalists’ query about the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), he said the MCC agreement was a consensus document and it was the responsibility of all to bring it into implementation. As he argued, the agreement was in the interest of Nepal and it kept no meaning to have disputes over it.

Stating that Hindu state and democracy along with monarchy were the party agenda, the RRP chair announced that organisational expansion was the party’s next motion.
