KATHMANDU, 26 April 2021 (TON): The Public Accounts Committee of the Parliament has sought clarification from the Ministry of Defense over the Army not abiding by the committee’s directive to scrap the bidding process for the second phase of the construction of tunnels and bridges along the Kathmandu-Tarai expressway.

On 1April, the parliamentary committee directed the army to do away with the bidding process after it found a serious noncompliance of the existing law in the pre-qualification process for the selection of contractors for the tunnels’ construction of two tunnels and several bridges totaling 2.77 kilometers.

“We have received a follow-up letter from the Public Accounts Committee,” Krishna Prasad Gyawali, the spokesperson at the ministry said.

He added, “The ministry has yet to decide whether or not to stop the selection process.”

However, according to the ministry, it is still studying the 1April directive and will make a decision after consulting various stakeholders including the army.
