Stating that commission is committed to curbing any forms of corruption, Ghimire expressed his dissatisfaction over the allegation against the CIAA for turning deaf ears on major embezzlements.
“We are also catching big fishes. I do not agree that we are focused only on small fishes”, he argued.
The parliamentary body summoned the CIAA chief to discuss the role of the constitutional anti-graft body in the major scandals and other issues.
