March 23, Kathmandu – Former Education Minister Mahavir Pun has emphasized that the upcoming government must take stringent action against corrupt individuals from the very first day, ensuring no corrupt official continues unchecked under any pretext.
Pun, elected as a Member of Parliament from Myagdi, wrote on social media platform Facebook on Tuesday morning that if existing regulations hinder punishment of corrupt individuals, new rules should be enacted immediately. He stated, “The new Rastriya Swatantra Party government must, starting from day one, unmask corrupt officials by revising rules so they can never recover. If the rules obstruct, new laws must be promptly established.”
Expressing concern that failure to control corruption would severely betray the people, Pun predicted that the Rastriya Swatantra Party (Raswapa) itself will eventually fade away. He added, “Within three months, the people should begin to feel good governance. I will fully support the government in eradicating corruption and mal-administration.”
