Kathmandu, Nov. 20- Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) has started formulating guidelines in order to make more effective probe and prosecution against acts of corruption by officials holding public posts.

In this connection, a workshop seminar was held in the presence of the top officials of the anti-corruption body, including Chief Commissioner Surya Nath Upadhyaya.

Three working papers related to investigation and prosecution on land management, citizenship, passport and court hearings were presented at the programme participated in by 45 officials, CIAA said.
