Kulman Ghising, the former executive director of Nepal Electricity Authority, has urged the workers working in the Gulf to join the bright campaign.
Ghising, who arrived in the UAE after announcing the start of the Bright Campaign journey in Bahrain, said that the disappointment in Nepal has increased and asked to join the Bright Campaign to turn it into hope. Development happens in Nepal. The country's economy will advance. becomes a country. Nepal is a country with great opportunities. You can move forward with energy. You/we will make the country together. Not only by protesting on Facebook or Tiktok. All should be done with commitment," he said while accepting the honor at separate events held in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the UAE, "I have come to show solidarity in your commitment to build a country I am ready to move forward with you hand in hand.
He said that the country can be led to economic prosperity by developing the energy sector. It is not that we should return to Nepal right now. A policy should be brought to invest 10 percent of every person's remittance sent from here in the Upper Arun Hydropower Project of 1,063 megawatts. By investing in the hydropower sector, the country can be brought to economic prosperity within 20 years," he said. "We have a vision to increase investment. It is not from one employee. It should be through the state mechanism. For that, trust comes from the leader.'
He said that workers are the main source of advancing the Bright Nepal campaign. You are my biggest source of strength. The respect and appreciation I am getting from home and abroad speaks for me. This is the source of my great confidence," he said. "I have not seen what the government has done to me." "Whenever I do something for the country, bring some success, that's when I am unfairly and humiliatingly dismissed. "It happened not once, not twice, but many times," he said.
Even though he has been dealing with disappointment from the state apparatus, he said that he did not let the light of hope and confidence that he had die. I am constantly working to instill hope and confidence. But the government system is working to give disappointment," he said, "I ended load shedding. 99.9 percent electrification was achieved across the country. I brought the electricity authority, which was never profitable, into profit. Exported electricity to India and Bangladesh.
Ghising said that Nepalis living abroad are managing Nepal's economy and the door to Nepal's prosperity will only open through remittances, energy and people's participation. Now about 14 billion remittances have started coming in a year. Which is a quarter of the GDP. More than seven billion remittances are coming from the Gulf alone. However, such workers are insulted. Development does not happen that way," he said.
