Kathmandu. After the filing of a criminal case against Prabhu Bank CEO Suman Sharma, the debate on the new CEO of Prabhu Bank has started. Even if he is released on bail, will the CEO know that an arrest warrant has been issued against him only after 5 days? After the debate started, the board of directors is preparing to bring another CEO if the Rastra Bank gives a green signal. For this, it has been found that two directors have been completely involved without including the other board of directors. One director has even talked to the director of another bank to talk to a potential person.
Poudel’s cooling did not match, Suman Pokhrel had to put his point to
Some high-level employees and two directors of the bank had proposed to the chairman that Janak Sharma Paudel should be made the CEO of the bank. But he is a director of Standard Chartered Bank. The cooling prevents the director from directly becoming the CEO. There is no situation to resign and wait 6 months as the CEO has to be appointed within 3 months of the vacancy.
The directors had also proposed to bring Suman Pokharel, who is currently the deputy CEO of Global IME Bank, as the CEO. However, the directors claim that he did not want to come as a banker who was not interested in Prabhu Bank. Talking to the financial concern, he said that he had asked the director of another bank to talk to Pokharel, but Pokharel was not told.
Rimal and Lamsal cannot argue
After a gap in banking for almost 10 years, the board of directors is not ready to appoint Raj Rimal, who is now the senior deputy CEO of Prabhu, as the CEO. The board of directors has argued that Rimal, who was brought to the bank at a time when a criminal case is being registered against Suman Sharma, can be made the interim CEO for some time, but the full CEO cannot be given.
It is understood that Niraj Lamsal is also set to become the CEO. He has already expressed his intention to run the organization if given the responsibility.
‘Prabhu has not found anyone else who wants to come, there is talk of settling Sharma’s case’: Operator
Prabhu Bank has come to the conclusion that it will settle Suman Sharma’s case as it does not find any other suitable person to become the CEO. But since the case is not of Prabhu but of another bank, Prabhu is not in a position to do it. The director said that further discussion on this matter will be held on Monday.
