The Asian Development Bank has “requested” a copy of the RCCC ruling, through authorities in the government of Nepal, saying that the bank is “keen to clarify” whether the RCCC has additional information unknown to ADB that might be of relevance in determining possible violations of ADB’s policies.

The ADB said, “it notes the ruling of the RCCC finding six persons guilty of irregularities with regard to awarding a contract under the Melamchi Supply Project.”“At this stage, the ADB does not know if the RCCC’s ruling relates to specific government procedures.”
