A parliamentary panel in Nepal has suspended its hearing regarding the appointment of Chudamani Kharel as Nepal’s ambassador to Malaysia. The decision follows complaints concerning alleged financial improprieties, land irregularities, and potential conflicts of interest. Lawmakers raised concerns about these accusations during the vetting process, prompting the halt. Kharel firmly denies any wrongdoing and maintains his innocence regarding the claims made against him. The committee has not set a new date to resume the hearing, pending further investigation into the allegations. This postponement raises uncertainty surrounding the timely filling of the ambassadorial post to Malaysia.
