He said that to make Nepal free from corruption, it is necessary to establish a principle that corruption committed while holding public office will be punished even after 20 years.

Stating that they have been working for about 7 years under 'Project Government' to draft a law on corruption, he announced that they will draft a law on authority and a law on policy-level corruption within 6 months, a law on conflict of interest within 6 months, and a law that considers failure to act by a designated official within the specified time as corruption.

'If leaders of your party who were the Prime Minister yesterday, leaders who were ministers, or you yourself have committed corruption in every position you have held, the Nepali Congress Party will implement the decision of the commission. It does not consider leaders or relationships, and it is implemented based on the recommendations of the commission,' President Thapa said while speaking at a question-and-answer program on the pledge on Thursday.

He said that the Congress is clear about partyization. 'It is no longer a party in appointments, but a capable person. In the next 5 years, the Nepali Congress will not ask for a share in the Constitutional Council or commissions, nor will this happen in universities or other institutions. "This is not possible without institutional reforms," ​​he said, "Establishing a governance lab under the Prime Minister and a governance unit in each ministry, based on my experience in the Ministry of Health, such a unit also makes the work effective. Under centralized services, if there is a commitment to provide services like passports or licenses in a day, then it should be done accordingly, if it is said to provide services in an hour, then it should be done accordingly." For this, he said, arrangements will be made to use technology, amend existing laws, develop infrastructure, and provide services at home.

He said that the digital public service will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and in case of delay, there is a provision to compensate citizens. He also mentioned that no ministry should be increased under the pretext of increasing ministries to form a coalition.
