Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) member Shishir Khanal had earlier questioned the grounds for recommending any action against Rabi Lamichhane in connection with the embezzlement case.
While committee members agreed that GB Rai's role was mainly limited to transferring the cooperative’s funds to Gorkha Media, they pointed out that as Managing Director, Rabi Lamichhane allocated the funds for various administrative uses, such as employee salaries.
Two members from the Nepali Congress argued for action against Lamichhane for using cooperative funds for media-related expenses, leading to some difficult discussions.
However, despite these differences, the committee members reached an agreement and collectively signed the final report.
