Attorney General Lungten Dubgyur has submitted his voluntary resignation to the Prime Minister’s Office. It was submitted yesterday. The resignation comes amidst claims of collusion within the Judiciary involving a drug smuggling and possession case. The Judiciary suspended two judges last week for deliberate miscarriage of justice.

The Prime Minister had asked the Attorney General to submit an explanation since a news release stated that the Attorney General had gone on a trek with the father of a defendant and one of the justices after which a reversed judgment was passed.

According to the Office of the Attorney General Act of Bhutan 2015, an Attorney General can resign by submitting a written resignation to the Druk Gyalpo through the Prime Minister, with a month’s notice. The authority to accept the resignation shall be vested with the Druk Gyalpo.

The Anti-Corruption Commission said they have no comments, and the police told BBS that they did not receive any complaints regarding the case.

The father of the defendant, who works as a Dzongkha editor at Kuensel, said he does not have any comments.

Meanwhile, the Judiciary says the reinstatement of the two judges who are under suspension, as reported by some news agencies, is "not accurate".

In Bhutan, visitors can experience a uniquely flavourful journey - from the delicious heat of ema datshi, a hot stew of chili and cheese to the goodness of locally grown rice and a cup of suja, the traditional butter tea. Bhutan is known for its sustainable initiatives and this is visible even in the gastronomic world as most of the ingredients are locally sourced or grown. Bhutan is an emerging destination for travellers seeking a unique culinary adventure.

26 December 2022:

His Majesty the King graced the inauguration of the Kurizam-Gyalposhing Highway, built under the Desuung National Service Road Project. The inauguration ceremony was presided over by His Holiness the Je Khenpo.

The road was widened and improved to a higher standard with the aim to pilot quality road construction, develop best practices that can be disseminated in the industry and to develop a critical mass of the necessary skills, processes and practices in this critical area of nation building.

This pioneering road project was undertaken by De-Suung in partnership with the Ministry of Works and Human Settlements following the highly successful water projects implemented by De-Suups across 20 Dzongkhags over the past years.

The project was designed to build capabilities of the De-Suups in all aspects of road construction so that they can become skilled workers, competent supervisors, effective managers and capable contractors in the future.

Towards that end, the project recruited a road designer, a material engineer and a project manager from a well reputed Japanese company to train the De-Suups and oversee the project. The objective of the project was to benchmark the quality of Bhutanese road construction to leading international standards with adequately designed road geometry, slope protection works, drainages, cross drainages, and proper road signs. It was also to sensitize and impart the best work culture, ethics and professionalism to our youth.

The 7.3 km road was built in exactly one year, starting from 17th December 2021. A total amount of Nu. 238 million was spent including procurement of specialized machines, hiring of international experts, and other trainings and logistics. A total of 167 De-Suups were engaged in the project. Six of them are now trained as skilled operators in specialized machines, 3 in surveying and 13 as skilled construction workers. All of them are equipped to assist and understand general construction practices.

While in Gyalpozhing, His Majesty also visited the Bongderma Gyalsung Academy Site and granted an Audience to the people working there.
