Gyalpoizhing land beneficiaries related to high ranking civil servants: ACC
Jan 16 2013
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) today submitted evidences based on the 23 charges against the Speaker, Jigme Tshultim, at the Monggar District Court. The documents stated that the Speaker had allotted land to those who did not fulfill the criteria.
Majority of the beneficiaries, in their statements to the ACC, said they were not aware of the criteria. Some even said they didn’t know that they had acquired land until it came out in the media. A few of them said, they had put up application after being suggested by the Speaker, who was the then Monggar Dzongda. The beneficiaries are mostly, directly or indirectly, related to higher rank civil servants including Ministers according to ACC’s statement.
The Speaker is scheduled to submit his evidences on January 22.
The ACC also submitted the rebuttal statement against the Home Minister, Minjur Dorji. According to the statement, as the Chairperson of the allotment committee then, Lyonpo Minjur Dorji had deviated from the set criteria and allotted land as per his preferences.
However, the representative of Lyonpo argued that since the authority is clear from the Zonal Administration and the then Department of Urban Development and Housing circular following the Royal Kaja, if it is a procedural lapse the case doesn’t fall under the criminal charge.
i feel sad for all those people involved but they have to dance to the music that they have composed. Bhutan is a small country with small population and everybody knows about everyone. There is no room for corruption and corrupted people. Root them out. Everyone those who are involved. What about other ministers whose names came on the news. Are they still in the book of ACC.
Even OAG must be questioned for trying to manipulate this case-for not acting on behalf of the government(That is the citizen of Bhutan) and there must be some ways to make them answerable to the court.
Wat ever may be i am sure ACC will not win. ACC acts smart .. Now we r finding the weakness of the ACC. Ha ha ahah aha Shame on ACC
Its pathetic ….all three institutions of government seemed corrupt …almost everyone in the high position is involved in graving gyalpozhing land…..
Not about what u call graving land or corruption but NOW corruption …let us be fair to understand more depth…
1) why all three Ministers from EAST are into problem???
2)why ACC is taking up this case so personal knowingly ACC Act to not applicable retrospective , very clear in constitution…
3)why case is brought up at the verge of election and kept prolonging…simply want to take DPTS two sit forcefully…
