The parliamentary Committee for Education, Health and Information Technology has directed the government to submit documents related to Mobile Device Management System (MDMS) and Telecommunication Traffic Monitoring and Fraud Control System (TERAMOCS). 

A meeting of the committee on Thursday directed the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology to submit papers related to policy decision, purchase process, payment and rationale of implementation concerning MDMS and TERAMOCS from the start. 

The House panel also decided to ask for the ministry-level investigation report on these topics and the court decisions related to the same and to take further decisions on the basis of consultations with experts. 

The committee’s decision comes following the discussions it held earlier in the day with Minister for Communications and Information Technology Rekha Sharma, Communications Secretary Ram Krishna Subedi and other officials at the ministry.

In the meeting, Minister Sharma shared that the ministry is studying the policy decisions made by previous governments and works carried out by the implementing bodies. She said the ministry will cooperate with investigations to be conducted by the authorized agency into the topic of any said irregularities in the implementation of these systems.
Nepal Telecommunications Authority had brought the technology for over Rs 3bn for making telecommunication services credible and qualitative.

Earlier, the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament had instructed the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority to carry out further investigation into the technology procurement process of TERAMOCS and proceed with the prosecution in accordance with the law.
