Unified CPN (Maoist) Task force on Lifestyle and Corruption recieves 200 complaints

A task force formed by the Unified CPN (Maoist) Central Committee to probe on the lifestyle and involvement in economic activities of its central leaders and heads of sister organisations has received over 200 complaints, five days before the deadline for submitting the complaints ends, Kantipur daily reported.

Maoist cadres and general public have filed complaints against central committee leaders on nepotism, involvement in economic activities, abuse of power, and their lifestyle, among others. Complaints have also been received against some senior leaders including chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal.

A task force member said, the task force will investigate the complaints and submit its report to the party headquarter within three months.

The task force coordinated by senior vice-chairman Mohan Baidhya includes standing committee member Netra Bikram Chand, politburo members Pampha Bhusal, Hit Raj Pande, Shakti Bahadur Basnet, central committee members Krishna Dev Singh and legal professional Ram Narayan Bidari.

Maoist central committee had issued a 15-point code-of-ethics for its leaders and formed the task force a month ago after growing complaints on the luxurious lifestyle of the Maoist leaders
