Kathmandu Mayor Balen Shah has openly declined an invitation to an event hosted by Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. In a bold statement, Shah questioned the integrity of attending a program led by someone he accuses of protecting corrupt individuals. He emphasized that while he strives to combat corruption in the capital, national leaders seem to shield those involved in unethical practices.
Highlighting Systemic Issues
Shah’s refusal is part of his ongoing critique of the federal government’s handling of corruption. He has previously accused the government of obstructing efforts to remove corrupt officials and failing to support initiatives aimed at promoting transparency and accountability.
A Call for Genuine Governance
By distancing himself from the event, Mayor Shah reinforces his commitment to ethical governance and challenges national leaders to prioritize integrity over political alliances. His actions resonate with citizens seeking accountability and reform within Nepal’s political system.
