Develop Credibility The current functioning of CIAA has left very little room for a common man to have faith in the institution (Branded Bull Spotlight March 17). Though set up by the constitution to control corruption, the CIAA has done very little in that direction. Most of the powerful politicians who ought to have been hounded by the Commission, are instead walking with their heads held high. On the other hand, small bureaucrats are being harassed with apparently malicious aims. Ram Krishna Aryal CIAA Turns Shady The functioning of CIAA has become very opaque (Branded Bull Spotlight March 17). For an institution set up to ensure transparency in public offices, the CIAA has surprisingly kept most of its dealings under wraps. It has been found filing weak cases making sure that the accused are let off by the court. In turn, the commission's demand for more authority appears farcical. Jaya Kishore Thapa Take Stringent Action Why the CIAA straggles to keep pace with the marching corruption in the country is a question that is often asked by Nepalese intellectuals (Branded Bull Spotlight March 17)? The answer may lie in weak acts or regulations that bind the institution and limits its authority. Nevertheless, it is the Commission itself which has to convince the politicians that it could do better job in the event of better laws. Nirmal Shakya Negative Reporting Just when the Commission looks as if it means business, various media are reporting that the CIAA is going overboard (Branded Bull Spotlight March 17). What do you journalists really want? When the commission does not work, you term it an agency that can be done without. But when the commission takes some action, you guys hound it for going "overboard". What is the solution, then? Sudhir KC More Of Far West Your cover story on the development in the far western region "Disparities in Development" (Spotlight March 10) deserves three cheers. It is rare that mainstream media here cover the development issues concerning the far western region. In that, your magazine has done a good job by covering most of the issues plaguing the region. I hope, your magazine keeps up the good work by covering more of such issues in future editions. Binod Dhital Anarchy Indeed The article "Anarchy Reigns" (Spotlight March 10) portrayed a dismal situation in the education sector of the country. While the important sector like education is suffering untold pains, the policy-makers and political leaders are busy locking horns over personal issues. This speaks volumes about the priority our policy-makers have for the development of the country. Sandeep Adhikary Power Focus The organizing of the energy conference by the US government prior to the President Clinton's maiden visit to the region indeed points that the US is very much interested in harnessing the power potentials of the region (Power Packed Meet Spotlight March 10). It is now the turn of the Nepalese authorities to take advantage of this US interest by framing friendly policies that would invite the American investors en bloc. Kamal Singh |
