"I have resigned from the position of Home Minister with effect from today, the 38-year-old posted on his social media accounts. For me, morality is greater than a position, and there is no greater power than public trust."
"Public life should be clean, leadership should be accountable, added Gurung, who took office on March 27."
"Earlier this month, the government formed a five-member commission led by a former Supreme Court judge to investigate the assets of politicians and officials."
Sudan Gurung stepped down as Nepal's Home Minister after less than a month in office, citing concerns over his investments. He is the second minister to resign from the new government. Gurung emphasized the need for accountability and public trust, stating that morality surpasses any position. His resignation follows the establishment of a commission to investigate the assets of politicians. Prime Minister Balendra Shah will temporarily oversee the Ministry of Home Affairs until a new minister is appointed.
