The Wagmati state government, which has increased the number of ministries to balance leader management and political division, has not been able to manage secretaries in all ministries.
In Wagmati province, which has 14 ministries, 7 secretary posts are vacant and four secretaries are on dual responsibility. Administrative work is also affected due to shortage of special category employees in the provincial government. After the work of the ministry has come to a standstill, the provincial government has given double responsibility to four secretaries from the meeting of the Council of Ministers.
Secretary Rajendra Kumar KC of the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Land and Administration is also responsible for the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Purna Bahadur Darzi, Secretary of the Provincial Assembly Secretariat, is also in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Law. The post of secretary has been vacant for a year in this ministry.
Secretary Darzi says that it is uncomfortable for him to work on a daily basis due to his dual responsibility. I have been working in two shifts. I am working till 12 o'clock in the morning at the Provincial Assembly and then at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. "I am doing my work every day," said the secretary tailor. He said that the performance will be easier if there is only one responsibility.
Badrinath Gaihre, secretary of the Ministry of Social Development, is also carrying the responsibility of the Ministry of Youth and Sports. Keshavraj Subedi, Secretary of State Policy and Planning Commission, is also on dual responsibility . Since Badri Bahadur Khadka, the secretary of the Ministry of Health, has compulsorily retired last October, the post of secretary has been vacant in this ministry. Balram Niraula, secretary of the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Transport, has been transferred. Niraula, who was transferred to the Tribal Commission in October, has not been released by the state government.
Chief Minister Bahadur Singh Lama even wrote a letter to the federal government to stop the transfer of the secretary after the federal government pulled the secretary of the union assigned to the province.
'There is a shortage of secretaries and the daily work of the ministries is being affected . The work of not giving pardon to the transferred secretary and giving dual responsibility to one is being done now . This is creating problems in the implementation of federalism," said Shyam Bahadur Khadka, Minister of Water Resources, Drinking Water and Energy of Wagmati Province. In the Chief Minister's Office, there are no secretaries in the Government Reforms and Good Governance Division and the Law Branch. The post of Law Secretary of the Chief Minister's Office is also vacant.
Government spokesperson and Minister of Internal Affairs and Law Surajchandra Lamichhane said that the issue of managing the shortage of secretaries is being discussed. He claimed that the Chief Minister is discussing the issue of staff management in the cabinet meeting and also informally.
It is said that due to the lack of staff in the union, the province has a problem in transferring the required special category staff. The Chief Minister is constantly discussing and coordinating with the Prime Minister, the Ministry of General Administration and the Chief Secretary," he said. The state government has already requested the State Public Service Commission to prioritize the work of the promotion committee.'
