What did the Auditor General find?

  • The Government issued Drinking Water Quality Standards in 2079, and the Department and its offices spent Rs 415.1 million in FY 2081/82 on water-quality testing, treatment and chlorination, but the Auditor General found that bodies distributing drinking water had not measured quality or kept records showing that the water they supply meets the standards.नेपाल सरकारले खानेपानी गुणस्तर मापदण्ड, २०७९ जारी गरेको र आ.व. २०८१/८२ मा विभाग र मातहतका कार्यालयले पानीको गुणस्तर परीक्षण, प्रशोधन र क्लोरिनेसनमा रु. ४१ करोड ५० लाख खर्च गरे पनि खानेपानी वितरण गर्ने निकाय र संस्थाले मापदण्डअनुसार गुणस्तर मापन गरी अभिलेख राखेको नदेखिएको महालेखापरीक्षकले जनाएको छ। OAG 63rd report, Ministry of Water Supply chapter para 23, PDF p. 284 (printed p. 252); Act Sections 20 and 36, pp. 15, 21
  • Although Section 8 and a 2076 Cabinet decision classify water projects by tier, the Auditor General found that the scope and standards of the three tiers of government for drinking water and sewerage are still not clear, leading to duplicated projects and limited coordination between the bodies involved.दफा ८ र मन्त्रिपरिषद्को २०७६ को निर्णयले आयोजनालाई तहअनुसार वर्गीकरण गरे पनि खानेपानी तथा ढल निकाससम्बन्धी कामका लागि तीन तहका सरकारको कार्यक्षेत्र र मापदण्ड स्पष्ट नहुँदा आयोजनामा दोहोरोपना भएको र निकायहरूबीच समन्वय हुन नसकेको महालेखापरीक्षकले औँल्याएको छ। OAG 63rd report, Ministry of Water Supply chapter para 22, PDF p. 284 (printed p. 252); Act Section 8, pp. 6–8
