Sudhan Gurung is to be reappointed as Home Minister. Prime Minister Balendra Shah has decided to make Gurung the Home Minister. Prime Minister Shah recommended Gurung for appointment as Home Minister on Tuesday. The swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for 3 pm on Tuesday. According to the Prime Minister's Secretariat, Gurung has been appointed as Home Minister and the swearing-in ceremony has been scheduled. Gurung resigned on Baisakh 9 after a dispute over investment. Gurung was given the responsibility of Home Minister in the Balendra Shah-led government formed on Chaitra 13 after winning nearly two-thirds of the seats in the House of Representatives in the 2082 Falgun 21 election. He resigned on Baisakh 9 after questions arose about his assets.
On 28 Baisakh, the Cabinet meeting had formed an investigation committee under the leadership of former High Court judge Achyut Prasad Bhandari. The committee included Comptroller General Shobha Kant Poudel and Associate Attorney Achyutmani Neupane. The investigation committee submitted its report to Prime Minister Shah on Friday. The report was accepted by the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, informed government spokesperson Sasmit Pokharel.
The committee also compared the assets submitted to the Election Commission before the 21 Falgun elections and the assets made public after he became the Home Minister.
According to a member of the investigation committee, Gurung has 19 ropanis and 15 aanas of land in Karkichhap (Bhedetar area) of Dhankuta, 30 kattas in Bharatpur-18 of Chitwan and 221 ropanis in Chumanubri of Gorkha. The report states that the land in Gorkha is not likely to be valued much, and that only the land in Chitwan and Bhedetar may be worth a little more, so it cannot be called unnatural.
