Don’t Split Two Ministries, if Requried, Split Ministry of Labour and Transport


People surprised to learn that present government is going to split the existing two ministries that include ministry of agriculture and cooperative and ministry of physical planning and works. I think it is neither good idea nor justified yet to split the ministries without having reasonable justification and necessary O & M. The decision may bring several disadvantages and mal-practices in both areas.

If required, our government can immediately break the Ministry of Labour and Transport Management. Scientifically, administratively and managerially the both areas transport and labour cannot be put together. Internationally, there are no such practices exist in any country where Ministry of Labour and Transport Management put together in a one ministry, but it is in Nepal as a big strange.

Therefore, I just suggest to our all respective leaders to split the existing Ministry of Labour and Transport Management into two different Ministries. They can name them as:

1. Ministry of Transport Management and

2. Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security.

Government of Nepal is About to End Inclusion System in Civil Service?

Dear All,

I just want to share a bad news concerning the given tries for strategic ending process of all types of reservation (Inclusion Quota) in civil service system. The Ministry of General Administration has forwarded a proposal to cabinet to support the vested interest of some traditionally elite people to end all types of inclusion quota in civil service by necessary strategic and sudden amending in civil service regulation, despite ignoring the fact that it is against the motto of interim constitution and inclusion related commitment of state and government, and also against major legislative arrangement on inclusion.

I do not know, it is good or bad, but it is for sure that Government of Nepal should not take necessary action on forcedly ending process of all type of inclusion without having proper consultation of respective stakeholders. If it happens, Government will get huge trouble and may crate massive chaos and could lead to next destructive another revolution in Nepal, If Government take such action without necessary preparation and precaution. Therefore, multiparty political consensus is required to obtain in advance before to forward such proposal that hampers the spirit and motto of interim constitution and mandate of past political movement.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Pushkar

Nepal: Should CIAA Secretary Kafle and His Team Resign In Moral Ground?

By Krishna Hari Pushkar

CIAA Secretary Mr. Bhagabati Kumar Kafle has been read as one of the most controversial and capable secretary in the history of CIAA, who has been illegitimately using the commissions' full rights and authorities in accordance with his vested interest, ignoring the organizational ethics and professionalism. Nowadays, Kafle along with his core team came under a severe hullabaloo.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The existing secretary of Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA), Mr. Bhagabati Kumar Kafle, has been one of the most controversial and capable secretaries in the history of CIAA. He has been illegitimately using the commissions' full rights and authorities in accordance with his vested interest, ignoring the organizational ethics and professionalism. Nowadays, Kafle, along with his core team, came under a severe hullabaloo.

The ongoing investigative approaches of the State Affairs Committee (SAC) of parliament found that CIAA secretary Kafle and some members of his core team are involved in a government land transfer scam (the transfer of ownership of the UN Park-land at Thapathali to individuals). The documents related to the scam show that they are directly involved in initiating, forwarding and submitting the files to get decided in abnormal ways concentrating on the interest of particular individuals. Therefore the State Affairs Committee of Parliament suspects that secretary Kafle and some other officials of CIAA are directly involve in the case of authority abuse and corruption. Perhaps, this is first time in history where SAC started such investigation case against CIAA officials, but it is yet to be exposed whether corrupts were working in anti-corruption areas.

In general, Kafle is very honest, hardworking, intelligent, technically sound, ethical, professional, capable and academically strong personality. He has tried to elevate the image of CIAA and he has succeed in many ways till now. He also won better public trust in some extend. Besides, there are many incidents occurred where developmental activities, technological advancement, governance projects, crime control projects, and other multi-million dollars of government investment have been collapsed and gone wastage due to his unethical interference, poor vision and ill-intentioned coercive instruction to the various public authorities. He has succeeded to terrorize almost all civil and political system of Nepal without having proper legal or practical empirical ground.

Mr. Kafle and company have also made some corrupt decision against the law of Nepal, consequently respective authorities who victimized were forced to accept all illegal and baleful decisions and instruction of Mr. Kafle, because of many technical and legal constraints. Some evidences may be presented publicly if required. Mr. Kafle and his team also affronted and dishonored many public employees. He was successful in imprisoning and throwing out of service too many people, especially for those people who were found involved in similar ways. Therefore, he should not go beyond from the accountability trouncing his key role as secretary and investigation officers of his team in each and every decisions of CIAA. It may be considered mentally paralyzed if someone claims CIAA secretary and investigation officers have no role in decisions taken by CIAA in any case and issues against corruption and authority abuse.

It is not expected that he and his team should immediately resign or thrown out from CIAA, just because to provide enough and adequate space for honest and truthful investigation process of the SAC. However, it is always judicious and mindful to consider their own ethical and moral ground for such high-sounding personalities while suspected and accused in an involvement of corruption or authority abuse. The recent resignation of Finance Secretary Mr. Rameshwar Kahnals' case may be used as an example while thinking on ethical or professional ground of honest public officers.

The general public may not be able to judge whether Kafle and his accused team should resign immediately just because SAC accused and claimed the involvement of CIAA secretary Kafle and his team in a case of corruption and authorities abuse along with ex-commissioners of CIAA. However, general eyes can say, if Kafle and his team are innocent, than commissioners also, if the commissioners are guilty than Kafle and his team also, they cannot be proved innocent at any degree because secretary and investigation officers have to involve in entire pre decision to post decision phases of all cases of corruption and authorities abuses administered by CIAA.
