JAJARKOT-The conflict may have spread misery among Nepalis but it has been a boon for VDC secretaries. It's been four years since they stopped visiting the villages but the VDC secretaries still receive their monthly allowances for going to the villages and returning to the headquarters. With the lack of people's representation in the residential administration and the Maoist control over the villages , the VDC has been misusing money. Of the 30 VDCs in Jajarkot, in all VDCs besides Khalanga, there is lack of transparency in work procedures including documentation and paper work of the people. These officers register their appearance in the headquarters for their salaries without performing their duties and also make fake bills for things supposedly bought for the VDC.
