A parliamentary committee has decided to question the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) Chief Lokman Singh Karki over his alleged interference in the medical education sector.
The Parliament's Good Governance and Monitoring Committee will also grill all the Commissioners of the CIAA over this issue.
Orthopaedic surgeon and activist Govinda KC, who has been on a hunger strike demanding reforms in the medical education sector, has accused Karki of overstepping his jurisdiction in interfering in the post-graduate medical science exams of the Kathmandu University, for personal gain. KC has demanded Karki's impeachment.
After Kathmandu University (KU)'s Registrar Bhola Thapa admitted that the CIAA had dispatched 'a panel of experts' to cancel the original exam question papers and finalise the new ones, the Committee decided to question Karki and other commissioners on Sunday.
