Nepal’s new government has established a committee to investigate the assets of politicians and government officials. An official announced on Thursday that the five-member body, led by a former Supreme Court justice, will review the wealth declarations of top figures who have held public office since 2006. The decision was approved in a cabinet meeting, according to Prime Minister’s press and investigation adviser Deepa Dahal, who said the government is finalizing the committee’s timeline and other details.

The formation of this committee was part of a 100-point reform program introduced by Prime Minister Balendra Shah’s administration after taking office. Earlier this month, Nepal issued arrest warrants against former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and his wife on money laundering charges, which Deuba, currently abroad, has denied. Nepal ranks 109th out of 180 countries in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index.

The committee’s findings are expected to play a key role in the government’s broader anti-corruption and governance reform agenda.
