National Statistics Office secretary Toyam Raya set to lead as auditor general

Toyam Raya has emerged as the nominee for the esteemed position of Auditor General of Nepal, following the decision made in the Constitutional Council meeting convened earlier today.

The vacancy in the post arose upon the completion of Tanka Mani Sharma’s tenure in May of last year, leaving a crucial position to be filled within the national administration.

Currently serving as the Secretary at the National Statistics Office, Toyam Raya brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the forefront. His nomination reflects a commitment to selecting capable and qualified individuals for key governmental roles.

The next step in the process involves undergoing a parliamentary hearing, after which President Ram Chandra Paudel is set to appoint Raya to the position of Auditor General.

The nomination of Toyam Raya underscores the government’s dedication to ensuring transparency, accountability, and efficiency within the nation’s auditing processes, crucial for upholding the principles of good governance and fiscal responsibility.
