CIAA Jurisdiction

अख्तियार क्षेत्राधिकार
Original Text

The CIAA has jurisdiction over all public officials from the PM down to ward-level officers. It can investigate corruption, abuse of authority, and improper conduct. It can file cases in the Special Court.

💡 Plain Language Explanation

The CIAA can investigate ANYONE holding public office — from the Prime Minister to the lowest ward secretary. Its jurisdiction covers: bribery, corruption, abuse of authority, accumulation of illegal wealth, and nepotism. After investigation, the CIAA files cases in the Special Court. No public official is above the CIAA\'s reach — this was RSP\'s key campaign promise: \'We will strengthen the CIAA.\'

🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या

CIAA ले प्रधानमन्त्रीदेखि वडा सचिवसम्म सबै सार्वजनिक पदाधिकारीको भ्रष्टाचार अनुसन्धान गर्न सक्छ।

✅ Strengths

Universal jurisdiction means no public official is immune from anti-corruption investigation.

⚠️ Concerns

CIAA has been accused of selective prosecution — targeting opposition while ignoring ruling party corruption.
