Former Secretary Dr. Corruption case filed against Sangeeta Mishra Kathmandu, October 2 — Former Secretary Dr. The Abuse of Authority Investigation Commission has filed a corruption case against Sangeeta Mishra. Some time ago, there was talk of him becoming a minister on Genji's proposal, but that process was said to have been halted after a corruption complaint was filed. According to the authority, Dr. While working at Rapti Health Science Institute, Mishra has been accused of defrauding the state of more than 12 million rupees through irregularities and collusion in the purchase of MRI machines. In the same matter, the authority filed a case against 13 defendants in a special court. According to the details of the authority, it has been claimed that the procurement process has been colluded with the equipment suppliers contrary to the Public Procurement Act and Regulations and the state has been harmed by paying more than the market price. Although Mishra's name was discussed for the ministerial post some time ago, it is said that his name was removed from the nomination list after a complaint was filed with the authority. So far Dr. Mishra has not given any formal response to the case filed against him. This case has once again raised a serious question of good governance in the health sector and public procurement system in Nepal.
