NIMJN Investigation Reveals: Political Parties Systematically Flout Donation Disclosure Laws

NIMJN Investigation Reveals: Political Parties Systematically Flout Donation Disclosure Laws

The Nepal Investigative Multimedia Journalism Network (NIMJN) revealed last August that political parties had evaded taxes and disclosed statements of income and expenditure that were lower than the actual figures. In this investigation, we have exposed the lack of transparency within the donations raised by political parties. The donations raised by the parties are known only to the giver and the receiver; they never make public the name of the individual or the amount of the donation taken from them. However, the law stipulates that donations over 25,000 rupees must be transacted using a banking check or transfer, and the name, address, profession, and source of income of the individual giving more than 100,000 rupees must be disclosed. Despite this, the parties are conducting their financial transactions by violating this legal provision.

अपारदर्शी दल : करोडौँ खर्च, देखावटी चन्दा 

नेपाल इन्भेस्टिगेटिभ मल्टिमिडिया जर्नालिज्म नेटवर्क (निमजिन) ले गत असारमा दलहरूले कर छली गरेको र वास्तविकभन्दा न्यून आय–व्ययको विवरण देखाएको खुलासा गरेको थियो । यो खोजमा भने हामीले राजनीतिक दलहरूले उठाउने चन्दा र त्यसभित्रको अपारदर्शिता उजागर गरेका छौँ । दिने र लिने व्यक्तिबाहेक अरूलाई थाहा हुँदैन, दलहरूले उठाउने चन्दा । उनीहरूले कुन व्यक्तिसँग कति रकम चन्दा लिएको हो भनेर कहिल्यै सार्वजनिक पनि गर्दैनन् । जब कि कानुनले २५ हजार रुपैयाँभन्दा बढी चन्दा लिँदा बैंकिङ चेक वा ट्रान्सफर प्रयोग गर्न र १ लाख रुपैयाँभन्दा बढी चन्दा दिने व्यक्तिको नाम, ठेगाना, पेसा र आम्दानीको स्रोत खुलाउनुपर्ने व्यवस्था गरेको छ । तर, दलहरूले यो कानुनी व्यवस्था मिचेर आर्थिक कारोबार गरिरहेका छन् ।
