Focus On Good Governance

Nepali politics is still riddled with quandaries, as evidenced by the fact that the central and provincial governments have remained in an unstable state, owing mostly to our leaders. With changes in central governments — three in a span of one and a half years — the concept of stability has taken a blow, causing multifarious consequences. Such instability has left our bureaucracy, which is considered a permanent government, in the doldrums, while ministries' performance has plummeted. Development projects in various parts of the country, as well as people-targeted welfare programmes, as enshrined in the constitution, which clearly states that the Nepali economy will be socialism-oriented, have taken a back seat, while politicians are seen engaging in self-serving acts that undermine the people’s aspirations for a prosperous, developed Nepal.
