Kathmandu: Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba ordered his newly appointed Chief Secretary to stop any foreign visits by the civil servants. High-level civil servants have been making foreign visits called familiarization trips, study tours, exposure trips and so on. They give any names they think would appropriate to make foreign trips.
Responding to the private media outcry, Prime Minister Deuba make such an order to his secretary to stop any foreign visits by any civil servants but whether the secretary has actually done so or not known as he is one of them. He also must have made such visits, too.
Hundreds if not thousands of civil servants have made foreign visits on many different pretexts causing a huge loss to the nation. Billions of Nepalese rupees have been spent on such visits without visibly any return on such expenditures.
These visits are made in other countries only after a particular person would take up the job for using the recently learned skill abroad.
However, in Nepal, such visits have been incentives if not direct bribes to the civil servants, as such foreign visits bring them financial benefits without any benefits to the taxpayers that foot the bills.
