Bhutan's anti-corruption commission implicates 27 people, including six public officials, in bribery across 17 construction projects

Bhutan's Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) says it completed an investigation into the Engineering Cell of the Dzongkhag Administration in Paro and found that 27 individuals, including six public officials, were implicated. The ACC says its investigation extended to 17 construction projects, 16 in Paro and one in Haa Dzongkhag, covering 2018 to 2024, and that its evidence suggests engineers holding official positions partnered with licensed contractors who acted as proxies in the bidding process.
