Balen Shah challenges govt over corruption allegations



KATHMANDU: Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balen Shah has publicly challenged the government to imprison him if the issues he has raised regarding corruption are wrong.

He shared his grievances on social media, stating, “The government protects so many corrupt people who break the law, yet we only hear about good governance in speeches. If what I have said is wrong, imprison me.”

His statements have sparked significant attention and debate, as they challenge the government’s handling of corruption and governance issues.
