KATHMANDU, Feb 10: The Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) has recommended the three tiers of the governments to prepare and enforce national standards so as to bring uniformity in the actions related to the need assessment, cost estimate, plan execution and maintenance and operation of information technology systems.
The anti-graft body has suggested that any agency under MoCIT should be entrusted with the responsibility to prepare and implement national standards on the specification and cost estimation of IT systems, hardware and software and update such standards regularly.
