KATHMANDU, July 23: A sitting member of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has said that the institution is marred by financial irregularities. “Yes, NHRC is marred by financial irregularities,” said Commissioner Dr Leela Pathak in an interview with myrepublica.com.[break]

The former general secretary of Transparency International, Nepal, said the national rights watchdog bought vehicles worth Rs six million in a non-transparent way by violating existing procurement law. She further said she has been isolated in the office and is thus in a difficult position to work at the office.



She is considering quitting the office if the situation at NHRC does not improve and Secretary Bishal Khanal resigns.
