Navin Kumar Ghimire has been endorsed for chief commissioner of the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) on Thursday.
The
Parliamentary Hearing Special Committee unanimously endorsed Ghimire after conducting a hearing Thursday afternoon. The Constitutional Council had recommended Ghimire for the vacant post and sent his name to the parliamentary committee for endorsement.
Ghimire will now be sworn in as the chief commissioner of CIAA by the president.
The committee had invited complaints against Ghimire giving a 10-day window. But not a single complaint was registered against him, according to the parliament secretariat.
He was appointed CIAA commissioner four years ago following his retirement from civil service after serving as secretary. He had reached for hearing in a white suit then. He had promised during the hearing that he will not allow any stain on his image as impeccable as that white suit while at CIAA.
He was one of the five commissioners recommended to the CIAA then and had not faced a single complaint even then. He was appointed CIAA commissioner on quota of the then CPN-UML.
The position was vacant since retirement of Deep Basnet on February 13. He will now serve as CIAA chief commissioner for two years.
