Nepal Government bans operation of TMS during office hours

The government has placed a prohibition on carrying out share transactions in office during the office hours after the government employees were found busy in it instead of providing effective services to the service-seekers.

The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) had carried out a monitoring following oral and written complaints that the employees, especially inside the Singha Durbar, the Central Government Secretariat Complex, were engaged in share transactions during the office time while abandoning their regular official works.

The CIAA had written to the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers about this on September 6, after carrying out the monitoring. In line with the CIAA directive, the Prime Minister’s Office has urged all those concerned not to operate the TMS during the office hours.

Letters to this effect have also been sent to all the ministries, commissions, secretariats and the Chief Secretary, the Chief Ministers and the Office of Council of Ministers of all seven provinces, with the conclusion that it is not appropriate to carry out private transactions in the share market from office during office time.

“Make arrangements at all the government and public body offices that TMS will not be operated during the office hours and also put in place a system by which the required monitoring could be carried out using the information technology whether TMS is being operated or not during that time,” states the CIAA letter.
