Despite a Supreme Court ban on pork-barrel funds—specifically the Constituency Development Fund—multiple provinces in Nepal are continuing to allocate billions of rupees to projects recommended by provincial assembly members. Provinces including Bagmati and Karnali are reportedly still channeling significant funds through this system. This practice raises concerns about compliance with the court’s decision, which aimed to curb potential corruption and misuse of public money. Critics argue the continued allocations undermine the spirit of the ruling and maintain a system prone to abuse. The funds are being distributed via projects ostensibly chosen to benefit local constituents, but the selection process lacks transparency. It remains unclear how provincial governments justify these allocations in light of the Supreme Court’s directive. This ongoing practice is likely to face increased scrutiny from legal experts and anti-corruption advocates.
