Don't make appointment of governor yet another link in the chain of misgovernance

The term of Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Maha Prasad Adhikari is set to end in the second week of April. Consequently, a three-member committee chaired by the finance minister has already been formed to recommend the new governor.

Writing an editorial about the appointment of NRB governor is hardly a necessity. Setopati has never directly or indirectly lobbied for or against any individual regarding appointments to public positions made by the government, nor does it do so. We firmly believe that such actions fall beyond the dignity of a news organization.
