Procedural uncertainty delays transfers of key investigation departments

Summary

The transfer of key investigation departments to their original ministries faces delays due to unclear directives and legal frameworks, despite Cabinet approval nearly two weeks ago.

Key Points
  • The Cabinet approved transferring the Department of Revenue Investigation and the Department of Money Laundering Investigation to the Ministry of Finance, and the National Investigation Department to the Ministry of Home Affairs.
  • The transfer implementation is delayed due to lack of clear directives and supporting legal frameworks, compounded by Dashain holidays.
  • Officials at the National Investigation Department express concerns about potential legal complications but remain confident operations will continue smoothly.
  • Finance Ministry officials state that legal provisions are complete and departments have begun their work under the new structure.
