So far this looks to be a political revenge drama ... like in Mexico, like in russia
like in many un-democratic countries..... I am not convinced that why Deoba?
alone. Why not Mr. P for the death of Gitkar or taxi driver.....

Deoba surely deserves the penality that fits his crime. But, others who did
crime (lets start from top: Mr. P) .......... should not be left unnoticed.

I will certainly see in near future that Deoba will be released free after appeal
goes to one level up ..... as if he is 100% innocent.... It will happen after
President's Bush's aides in Nepal, (US ambassador) pressurize King G against
the case. We should not forget that Deoba is the first elected PM of Nepal
to enter Whitehouse in US and Nepal's history. Deoba is also a staunt supporter
of Bush's international alliance of that 30 or so countries. To make that 30,
Deoba's contribution is certainly important to US whatever may be Nepal's
economic role in the world. Bush once notices that Deoba is in jail, he will
tell ambassador directly or indirectly to find ways to release him. Then, the
appeal in higher court will release him free and give clean chit.... it will happen
because at this time too, all these decisions were made just to steer the
current political scenes to elsewhere .... make people engage in such filthy
stuffs.... while King G strengthens his position and changes other rules
and regulations .... succeed to exclude the parliamentarians....

In any sense, Deoba will be freed.............. because of his support to
President Bush's Iraq war. Thats bottom line, King G can not keep him
long in Jail. Once relased, Deoba will be prized for PM ship... Afterall,
King G's current ministers are mostly having corruption or some scandals
still in pending in court ....

King G has appointed all these corrupts without any real or very real portfolio
in the ministry ... just to divert public attention on what he is doing inside the
palace. So that people keep on engaging on talks on these corrupt ministers
starting from tulsi to jagat gauchan...... and they will not spend real time to
find whats going on inside the power house.......

I also agree with Gp's points. This seems definitely a revenge to the political leaders. The so called Shahi Commission accused Deuba to give the contract to another party while existing contractor was working on that....
But gimme air man, if the existing party just finish 13% of whole job in a year then the main financer has a right to give the job to the new one.
For example, if you are not doing your work properly and always have attndance problem in your work and if you haven't reached the half of the target job, then your employer will definitely fire you and give your job to another qualified person.
I think this act as a mere revengeness to the politicians.

Why only Deuba?

How about Madhav and Girija Koirala? Are they clean with Melamchi Project, Khanepani and Dhal Nikas, Hydro Electricity projects, Highway Projects?

I would not have convicted them if I was re-writting whats published in media, I was in nepal recently and it was from talking to people around there I found out what was going on..

as far as giving contract to new builder is concern, I guess it is not just mere coincidence that contract value gets increased my double and contract gets in the hand of builder who is party member and financer or NC-D.....

Yes, republican you must feel bad that you are supporting Deuba sleeping on same bed...

My point here is we should denounce gyanendra's cabinet but in the mean time should not loose our check against political leaders, they should be punished at every chances we get..

but as GP pointed out I dont think Deuba will ever server 2 years and government will ever get back their 9 million.. its sad but its true.....

yo muji mukh kuchhiyeko budho ko foto kina post gareko yaar,,mero din nai kharab huncha yesko mukh herepachi..muji lai laatai latta le chak ma hannu parne budho

Rs 90,000,000 million = how many crores or lakhs? i'm a bit confused here. Can anyone please help?

"as far as giving contract to new builder is concern, I guess it is not just mere coincidence that contract value gets increased my double and contract gets in the hand of builder who is party member and financer or NC-D....."

I just want to clarify one thing to Frankenstein that Jip c. Lama, whom you are hinting at got the smallest percentage of contract. Bigger parts went to Sharma and Co. and a chinese company called CCECC. What is RCCC doing for them?

Well, what is RCCC going to do about peter giri and other kg's kuttas? This asshole giri and k bista got 10 lakhs for "repairing kitchen" and take special allowance 3 times their salaries. and it seems RCCC doesn't care about willful bank loan defaulters as long as they are ready to be kg's dog. Ministerial quarters and PM's residence are vacant, but this asshole giri lives in his friend's house and Nepali people pay for him.

Deuba and co. were jailed just for saving RCCC's (that means kg's) face to show that it has done "something". And where in this world can you see the same body arresting, filing the case, investigating and deciding, all by itself? (And all those 3 guys who decided, do they have any legal background? I know for sure that the chairman of this so called AYOG doesn't even have any distant relation with law enforcement). It used to be happen only in medieval times in other countries and until rana regime in Nepal. It seems Nepal is being taken to 1000A.D. by kg.

Justice is done. Its a great start to have all corrupt and criminal leaders punished.

God damn where the heck did Girija , Govindae, and Khumae slipped away ?

One down (okay almost down) and many more to go I am sure. The 2-crore-rupee-question is does the trail stop here or does it go on? If it goes on which way does it lead - onto GRJ, KBK and GPK which might appear to be a logical next step or will it lead, eventually, whether by accident or design, to Tulsi Giri, Gyanendra and Paras?

What interesting times!

if RCCC can punished any one i think to shutdown every court of nepal ....................

you think late, its already closed since Feb 1.... justices are earning free salary...

Relevant excerpts from the ADB report:

3. This contract was originally awarded to Hanil-Koneco Joint Venture in October 2002 but was terminated in May 2004 due to the contractor?s non-performance. In July 2004, the ADB Procurement Committee approved a recommendation for rebidding under postqualification procedures and a slight repackaging of the original contract, covering only Sindhu and Gyalthum AARs. On 13 January 2005, the Melamchi Water Supply Development Board (MWSDB) awarded contract MDS/AAR/02 to CCECC-Sharma-Lama JV, the lowest evaluated substantially responsive bidder.

7. RCCC, based on calculations of its consulted experts, estimates the construction costs
for AARs Sindhu and Gyalthum should be NPR 644,782,188, while the project engineering
consultant (the consultant) projected costs of NPR 972,002,755. RCCC believes that this
difference may have given room for collusion.

23. The Engineer?s Estimate primarily serves as a tool for budgeting purposes and as a tool for the Executing Agency together with the Consultant, to determine whether a bid is reasonable. ...

28. In the 1999 final design study carried out under the Project, the cost of the Sindhu and Gyalthum Adit Access Roads was estimated at NPR 672,000,0002. The original contract that included these two roads and other works was awarded in 2002 to Hanil Koneco JV for its bid price at NPR 456,182,1533, compared to the Engineer?s Estimate for the total package of NPR 888,767,550. As mentioned in paragraph 3, the original contractor did not complete the works, and the contract was terminated in May 2004.

29. The Consultant prepared a third estimate in 2004 for rebidding purpose, estimating the costs of the two roads alone at NPR 972,000,000.

30. Based on the evolution of the Engineer?s Estimate over the five-year period from 1999 to 2004, and taking note of the first contractor?s inability to perform its obligations under the contract at a bid price that was substantially lower than the 1999 and 2001 Engineer?s Estimate, the latest estimate from 2004 does not seem to be inappropriate.

V. CONCLUSION
31. Based on the assessment of the documents in its position and the interviews carried out, OAGI has not found or received any evidence of collusion or other corrupt or fraudulent practice among those involved in the bidding process for the MDS/AAR/02 contract.

-------------

So the facts are clear. Hanil Koneco JV bid for 456 million in 1999 when the estimate was 888 million and then couldn't perform their job as they had promised. When the new bidding began in 2004, the estimate was revised to 972 million and the winning bid by CCECC-Sharma-Lama JV was 950 million.

Also, it has to be noted that the costs were estimated by an independent consultant (from which country I don't know) who wasn't interviewed by the RCCC because he is non-Nepali. Isn't he the only person who can provide a clarification for why the new estimated costs were higher than in 1999?

They are all innocent in this case. It could not be more evident that this is the pinnacle of injustice. Our own Nepali McCarthyism. Bloody witch hunt. Apparently one of the engineers was not even in the project when all this happenned, yet he was found guilty. How stupid can you be to not understand what is going on?

I am glad that Deuba, Singh and others are going to challenge this decision in the Supreme court. I heard that the engineers are absconding. Must takes courage to disobey a King. I am glad they are not quietly going to jail like Deuba and Singh. I am glad they are not just shouting words. This is exactly what is needed. Blatant disobedience.

Bravo.... Find some more of these Corrupt Bastards.... Most of them are seriously corrupt any way. नेपालि जनताहरु दिन दिनै गरिब हुदैछन, भ्रष्ट नेता हरु धनी ।

The Royal Commission for Corruption Control (RCCC) is doing better and better.

This is the way to save Nepal, Democracy, Peace and Human Rights.

No other way to do in Nepal.

King must implement Capital Punishment and Life Time Prisionment for corruption and national crimes. It is very important and very neccessary in this time.

If we can control NATIONAL CRIMES AND CORRUPTION, then only we can control MAOIST problems. There is no alternative and the best solution if we able to understand quick.

Any thing about national criminals and corrupt Nepalese must get hang, shot or life time prision. THIS IS DEMAND OF MOTHER LAND NEPAL.

.
Yes! I agree with you.
But not the wrong one.

It should start from the Royal Palace.

Spice Telecom. Where is this huge capital from?
The guy just finished computer engineering.
He has never worked on his own.

Hotel Himalaya is recently sold to a NRN for 52 Crores.
This money is spiced now as decent invest.
