The opposition party, Maoist, has accused the provincial government of being slow to spend even the given budget. Krishna Bahadur Jisi, the chief whip of the Maoists, who is also a former minister, claimed that the government was unable to spend the budget and that the plan that was about to be completed was stalled by not providing the budget.
'Consumers were not entrusted with the work, contracts were not made on time and spending procedures were not made,' he said, 'due to which the provincial government's spending progress could not increase. Because the government is unable to spend the annual budget, the development desired by the people has not been achieved. It is sad that there is no improvement in the annual spending rate, Congress member of Karnali State Assembly and Minister of Economic Affairs and Planning Vedraj Singh said.
He says that the budget could not be spent because the government has delayed making the expenditure standards and procedures. He said that there is no point in saying that the annual budget cannot be spent and that the budget is reduced. He said that only if the government works by making expenditure standards and procedures, the expenditure progress will increase.
