Prem Kumar Rai is the current chief commissioner of CIAA Nepal. He assumed office on February 3, 2021.[1] He is also a former home secretary.[2] He was recommended by the Constitutional Council on December 20, 2020, to be the new chief commissioner of CIAA.[3]
Under his leadership, CIAA has filed a case against former Prime Minister and CPN UML Chairman Mathav Kumar Nepal regarding allowing Patanjali Yogpeeth to purchase land beyond legal limits. Although previous legal interpretation of law said that decision by cabinet is not reviewable by law, CIAA under Rai has taken a different approach as clear in this case.[4][5]
