Action Taken Report on  the  Resolutions of the House on the Annual Report of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC)  Report 2023-2024. 

The Deputy Chairperson of the Good Governance Committee, Member from the Bji-Kartshog-Uesu Constituency presented the Action Taken Report (ATR) on the Resolutions of the House on the Annual Report of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) 2023-2024 to the House today. 

The Deputy Chairperson reported that from 2006 to 2025 the ACC prosecuted a total of 313 corruption-related cases. Of these, four cases were prosecuted by the ACC while 309 cases were prosecuted by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). The total restitution amount claimed  by the ACC stood at Nu. 3.92 billion, while only Nu. 550 million was realized. Additionally, 32 cases remain pending with the courts. The Deputy Chairperson also informed the House that having consulted with the ACC it was agreed that a detailed report will be submitted in the winter session of the House. 

Following deliberations, Members commended the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) for its efforts; however, they expressed concerns over the rising levels of corruption, the high number of unresolved cases, inconsistencies in case resolution, and the significant gap between restitution amounts sought and recovered. They recommended addressing the root causes of corruption and adopting more proactive measures. In response, the Committee noted that while the ACC is aware of these challenges, its effectiveness is limited by shortages in human resources, budget constraints, and inadequate technological support. Nevertheless, the ACC is taking steps to address these issues.

The House directed the Good Governance Committee to submit its report in the winter session while carrying out the review of the Annual Report of the ACC. 

Action Taken Report on the Resolution of the establishment of Crop and Livestock Insurance Scheme 

The Minister for Agriculture and Livestock submitted the Action Taken Report on the establishment of the Crop and Livestock Insurance Scheme to the House today. The Minister informed that the House following a resolution from the second session, the issue was discussed in the 43rd Lhengye Zhungtshog session, where a Sub-Committee—comprising MoAL, MoIT, and MoF—was formed to review key areas such as insurance, disease management, chain-link fencing, and agriculture budget allocation.

The scheme was officially endorsed by the Lhengye Zhungtshog, and the Ministry received formal confirmation on 28 April 2025. Subsequent actions included budget planning, consultations, and submission of an Initial Project Document to the Cabinet. The Ministry is now planning awareness programs at the Dzongkhag level and continuing to engage with investors to move the initiative forward.

During the deliberation, Members commended the Ministry for its actions to address the issue.. However, concerns were raised regarding the potential financial burden on the public, the implementation timeline, and the need for a clear and inclusive Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and guidelines. The Minister clarified that  the cost-sharing scheme would follow a 50-50 arrangement between the government and the public, with implementation planned for next year, subject to budget allocation. 

The House endorsed the submission made by the Minister of MoAL as proposed through show of hands.
