The ‘Gen-Z Movement’ has demanded the dismissal of Energy Minister Kulman Ghising, alleging irregularities worth Rs 430 million in a power purchase agreement with India’s PTC India Ltd.
The movement claims that Minister Ghising was involved in the deal that caused a financial loss of Rs 430 million to Nepal.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Movement Spokesperson Bijay Sah said, “Energy Minister Kulman Ghising must be immediately dismissed and a case filed against him at the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA). Nepal Electricity Authority Managing Director Manoj Silwal should be suspended and investigated under the Anti-Money Laundering Act. The Electricity Regulatory Commission must form an independent probe committee and make all power purchase agreements public.”
The Gen-Z Movement has also demanded that those involved in the “anti-national agreement” be imprisoned and that the misused state funds be recovered through legal procedures.
The movement is coordinated by Rabi Kiran Hamal.
