December 23, 2009, following the commitment of the newly appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Nepal to set up a taskforce to look into the possible corruption areas and then suggest remedies, the Supreme Court of Nepal has set up a high-level taskforce called ‘Uncorrupted Judiciary Strategy Taskforce’. Following the terms of reference, during the coming two months of time given to the taskforce, the taskforce will interact with the clients, lawyers, reporters, law professionals and justices to identify the corruption areas and their nature and the medium of corruption at the courts, and then to set a short term and a long term remedies for alleviating corruption, and then the taskforce needs to identify an agency that will implement the recommendations and then the monitoring agency, too according to the spokesman for the Supreme Court.
The taskforce will also study the required role of the Chief Justice, Chief Judge, Bar and other concerned agencies in controlling corruption, and the policy to adopt to this end.
At the same time, speaking at the function held to mark the 53rd anniversary of the Bar, newly appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Nepal Anupraj Sharma has said that the Nepal Bar Association needs to play a powerful role in making the judiciary independent, capable and accountable.
