Case at CIAA seeks transparency in Mt Everest cleaning campaign
SOLUKHUMBU, JAN 29 - A complaint has been filed at the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) calling for transparency in the funds spent in the Sagarmatha Cleaning Campaign.
The cleaning of waste from the world's highest mountain Sagarmatha or Everest was carried out under the campaign at the joint initiative of Sagarmatha Summiteers Association and Eco Himal.
The complaint has been filed jointly by some of the Sagarmatha Summiteers and stakeholders against the alleged irregularities in the campaign held in 2011.
The campaign had received funds from European Union, Nepal Government and Nepal Mountaineering Association, among other institutions. A total of Rs. 15 million has been collected for the campaign.
The Summiteers Chair Wangchu Sherpa and General Secretary Diwas Pokharel have been charged of spending the amount irregularly, and thereby not maintaining a transparent account of the same. RSS
