Diarrhea and Madhav Administration
By KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
Ultimately, on July 23, 2009, the Parliamentary Committee on State Affairs has decided to serve a subpoena on Prime Minister Madhav Nepal to ask him about the diarrhea that the government has not been able to bring under control in the hill areas of Western Nepal. Locals have continued to die from diarrhea despite the government claiming that medics and thousands of kilos of prescription drugs have been sent to the disease-affected areas and after the Prime Minister and his Health Minister have made helicopter visits to the areas spending about four millions rupees of taxpayers’ money on only the helicopter ride.
The local press has reported that the Prime Minister and Health Minister have made the visits to the disease-affected areas on helicopters whereas the Madhav administration has sent the prescription drugs on pony. So, prescription drugs have not reached the areas where the disease has struck but have been dumped at the administrative headquarters. According to the local media reports some villages have not enough persons to cremate the dead persons because so many people have died from diarrhea.
