“I have been struggling to get my money for the last four years,” Rana told myrepublica.com. “But NHRC officials have turned a deaf ear.”
As the efforts she made ever since her tenure as NHRC member expired four years ago yielded no result, she filed a complaint with NHRC on October 27, asking the constitutional human rights watchdog to provide her the provident fund money supposed to be deposited in the Citizen´s Investment Trust (CIT). She served the commission from 2000 to 2005.
Copies of the complaint have also been registered at the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers and the Office of the Comptroller General to draw their attention to what she said was corruption at the constitutional body.
“We have received her application drawing our attention to her provident fund troubles. We have been investigating her complaint,” NHRC member and spokesperson Gauri Pradhan said.
According to Rana, she informed former NHRC acting secretary Dhruba Nepal and incumbent Secretary Bishal Khanal about the missing provident fund money. “But they did not take up my complaint seriously,” Rana said.
Secretary Khanal, however, said that the NHRC has already begun an inquiry into the complaint.
In the complaint, Rana has accused officials at the NHRC accounts section of corruption in not sending her provident fund amount to CIT, and demanded action against them.
