Reform #1: Make CIAA a Truly Independent Anti-Corruption Force
Transform Nepal's anti-corruption commission into a powerful, independent body that can actually investigate and prosecute corruption cases without political interference.
The CIAA has legal powers but can't use them effectively. Political leaders control who gets appointed, the government controls its budget, and it lacks skilled staff and modern tools to investigate corruption properly.
- 1Give CIAA power to prosecute cases directly in court
- 2Allow CIAA to freeze corrupt officials' bank accounts during investigations
- 3Make CIAA's budget independent from government control
- 4Select commissioners through competitive exams, not political appointments
- 5Protect commissioners from being fired for 5-8 years
Singapore's anti-corruption agency has 98% conviction rate because it's completely independent
