Oli continues to transfer secretaries without giving them time to settle down at one place

Serving and retired bureaucrats say the current administration is stable and it could have done much to strengthen civil service, but it is doing just the opposite.

On Thursday, Secretary at the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers Yadav Koirala got transferred to the Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development. He was one of the 10—out of the total 69 secretaries of the Government of Nepal—who were transferred. Transfer of secretaries is just a regular process in bureaucracy and Cabinet makes these decisions. But in Koirala’s case, this was his fifth transfer in just two years.
