Domestic Brief
Sticky fingers


Senior government officials are continuing to use official vehicles for personal use even after they were allowed to import cars for personal use duty-free. Many are still using official vehicles even though they don\'t have their jobs anymore. By rule official vehicles are to be returned within a week of leaving office. But no one seems to care. Some top offenders: Former prime ministers Lokendra Bahadur Chand, Sher Bahadur Deuba; Former Chief Justices Biswonath Upadhyaya, Trilok P Rana, Surendra P Singh, Om Bhakta Shrestha and Mohan Prasad Sharma. The firebrand chief of the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority Surya Nath Upadhyaya is also among other ministers and politicos, all listed in a parliamentary committee report.
