Prime Minister Bhattarai For Rule Of Law
By KTM Metro Reporter
March 19, 2012: Prime Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai yesterday has issued a seven-point guide to all the ministers and the secretaries for working impartially without following the pressure of anybody, and for ensuring good governance, ‘The Rising Nepal’ of today writes.
The Prime Minister has told the ministers not to transfer any employees without following the rules and regulations under the pressures of any trade unions or recommendations of anybody for that matter. The Prime Minister also instructed the ministers for refraining from putting pressure on the secretaries to their ministries on making decisions going beyond the rules and regulations rather strictly follow the rule of law.
The Prime Minister has told the secretaries to the different ministries to lodge complaints in writing to the security forces in case of ministers misbehaving them and obstructing them from performing their duties following the rule of law.
Recently, the Nepalese media reported that a minister has chided a secretary to a ministry, and in another case bullied a secretary. In the past, too, a woman minister of the government headed by Madhav Nepal had slapped a district administrator in anger for not providing her with a sleek car for traveling in the district but Madhav Nepal failed to take any actions against her despite the protest of the state employees against her.
Minister for Physical Planning and Works Hrdayas Tripathi yesterday has said that the government provides the persons with compensations for the loss of their houses in course of expansion of roads in Kathmandu following the legal provisions but not under the pressure of some lawmakers. Recently, some lawmakers trying to cash in the outcry of some people over the tearing down their illegal structures built on the roads had gone to stop the bulldozers from tearing down the houses built on the roads. Thanks to the determination of Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai and His Minister for Physical Planning and Works Hirdayas Tripathi bulldozers continued to work putting the lawmakers behind bars for a day. The public support is high for the government doing such a good work of making road as it was planned 35 years ago.
