Ministry responds to Supreme Court construction corruption

SupreCourtConstructionCorruptionResponding to a letter from the High Court, the Ministry of Works and Human Settlement has said some of the tender committee members like the former minister, Kinzang Dorji, and former drangpon, Jigme Zangpo, resigned from service a few years ago.

The Supreme Court had directed the High Court to issue a letter earlier this month to the ministry asking if it will take action against the construction tender committee members of the Supreme Court.

The letter goes on to say Rinchen Dorji, the director of department of urban development and engineering services will superannuate in April, this year. It also says some of the committee members have been transferred to different agencies in different places.

The ministry has also expressed its reservation in taking action against two members, Ugen Tshewang and Phuntsho Gyeltshen. The letter says they are hard working and have served the government with dedication.  The ministry feels that taking action against them could demoralize them. The ministry has, however, assured the high court that it will take action against the members within the deadline given by the Supreme Court.
