It has been reported by the Republica News Daily that  INGOs and UN agencies have been spending liberally on rental premises and hired vehicles, especially in earthquake-hit regions.  These organizations have been renting vehicles and houses in terms of contract splurging unwanted money for the services .

The News agency reports,  UN agencies and INGOs such as Oxfam, UNDP, Save the Children and Care Nepal pay more than Rs 80,000 every month for a flat. CRS, an organization working in Gorkha district, pays Rs 180,000 per month as rent. It has rented the building of the Chamber of Commerce & Industry. Most of the newly-built houses in the district are occupied by INGOs and UN agencies. Similarly, the INGOs and UN agencies are spending huge amounts on hired vehicles. Every agency has hired two to five vehicles on average.  Most of them pay Rs 120,000 to 180,000 every month to hire a Bolero Jeep. Local organizations including the National Reconstruction Authority have been paying only Rs 80,000 for the same jeep. The cost of hiring a Scorpio is even higher. INGOs and UN agencies pay Rs 250,000 to Rs 300,000 per month for a Scorpio. Organizations such as IOM, Save the Children, Oxfam, CRS, UNICEF, IMC and World Vision have hired some three to six vehicles each. These are mostly used to carry their staff. Some vehicles are used just to pick up and drop INGO and UN staff from Kathmandu.

With the lack of proper policy and monitoring mechanism, Nepal Government is silent about the issue.  INGOs and NGOs have been manipulating the donation and foreign aid in their desired way. Reality is, the epicenter of earthquake Nepal  has currently  transformed into a commercial business center for INGOs and NGOs where donation and funding money are manipulated in absence of proper policies. The money which should have been used for building infrastructure and resources are being wasted in the name of unwanted services.
