KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has directed the Cabinet members and secretaries to ensure effective delivery.
During the first quarterly meeting on the implementation of the current fiscal year’s policy, programs, and budget on Wednesday, PM Oli stressed for changes in the present working style so that expected results can be achieved.
He, however, said it was not that easy to forward work as the previous government had brought the budget. The working style needs radical change, PM Oli stressed.
According to him, 11,000 fake projects were foisted under the government framework, which had to be corrected and anomalies wiped out. The multi-year budget planning must warrant proper homework, not a random scattering of budgets, he argued.
“Time has come to mull how we can bring sweeping change in production, agriculture, energy, information, and technology. Preaching does not work for national development and mobilization of the economy. Policy must be adopted in a way that creates jobs. Let’s act boldly,” he said, wondering why we could not think of giving responsibility to the able ones (private sectors) if the government fails to run the industries well.
The PM further reminded the top government officials that we had no time to delay works for economic strides. Government employees need to work with zeal.
The PM, minister, and secretary can intervene for a positive result. The employees shirking responsibility not only deserves transfer but action, PM Oli directed.
Oli reiterated that the government’s achievements must be reflected in practices.
