The instructions of the Prime Minister's Office not to transfer employees in violation of the law

The Prime Minister's Office has written this correspondence expressing dissatisfaction with the activities of the federal ministry, such as the transfer, posting, and other activities of the employees.

The Prime Minister's Office, while reminding the provisions of Civil Act 2049, Rules 2050, has warned that in case of random transfer, the salary of the employee who is transferred or sitting in the office will be collected from the transfering authority . There is a provision in the civil law to collect salary from the concerned officer.

The federal ministry had to give written instructions after the trend of transferring more employees than the posts in the departments, ministries and offices of the federal office, but not taking much initiative to send them to the provincial and local levels. A few days ago, Chief Secretary Ek Narayan Aryal expressed his displeasure with the secretaries saying that the service delivery was affected because the federal ministry did not manage the employees properly.

He said that service delivery should be prioritized. Aryal is also a former secretary of the federal ministry. Spokesman of the Prime Minister's Office and Joint Secretary in the Manpower Management Division, Prem Prasad Acharya, said that he had sent an instructional letter as there were some irregularities in the transfer.

"Since the number of employees in the ministries and offices of the union has increased and citizens are not getting services at the state and local levels, we have written to the federal ministry in accordance with the instructions of Chief Secretary Aryal," Spokesperson Acharya said. According to him, it has been mentioned in the letter that if the illegal transfer is not stopped or not arranged, the salary and allowances that have been consumed due to the transfer contrary to the relevant rules will be collected according to the civil law . In the directive, it is said to update the personnel information system (Central Personnel Agency). Also, it has been difficult to implement the instructions given to coordinate and transfer only after updating.

because the ministry has not been able to integrate the details of the employees after the 2079 parliamentary elections. What is the number of vacancies in the departments and offices of the federal ministry? How many employees are there? Which employee has been on the job for how long? Two and a half years have passed since they searched for how long they have been living in the same place and have not moved.

Although the data of the employees is confirmed with the ministry, there are no details of where they are working. Looking for numbers, four ministers have changed in the federal ministry during this period, but a unified record has not been prepared. Soon after 2079, the then federal minister Aman Lal Modi asked to correspond four times on the same issue to get the correct data of the employees, but the officials complained that other ministries did not care.

By taking advantage of this, malpractices such as employees not going to the assigned place, staying at work for a long time are becoming rampant . The Prime Minister's Office has sent a letter to the Federal Ministry with the intention of finding a solution to this problem. Especially at the local level, it has been a long time since there has been a shortage of chief administrators.

On Thursday, the chief administrative officer has been appointed in 100 municipalities. They are all new officers. Still, nearly 100 local levels are operating under the Nimitt . Federal Ministry Administration Division Chief and Joint Secretary Bishnu Gyawali informed that there is no agency in metropolis and sub-metropolis.

Federal Gyawali said that an instruction letter has been received from the Prime Minister's Office and it is being studied. He said, "We are ready to follow the instructions given by the Prime Minister's Office to take care of the transfer management." We are trying to organize the transfer as much as possible.

The ministry had issued a public notice in the second week of last July to apply for the transfer of the staff up to that secretary. Even though the transfer is opened by issuing the notification, the employees are trying to transfer themselves by using this opportunity . Especially in the transfer made by the ministry, such manipulation has happened. A joint secretary of the federal ministry says, "Except for transfer, nothing has been done". There are always discussions and disputes about the transfer itself. There is a situation where we cannot do anything about other work.'

Sources claim that the ministries and offices hide the records of posts and employees and do not give information to the federal ministry. After repeated attempts by the Federal Ministry to conduct Organization and Management Survey (ONM) in other ministries, departments, commissions and offices, it has not been possible. Although the government announced last November that all ministries, departments, commissions and offices will be O&M through last year's budget, it has not been implemented .

The employees of the Ministry Administration Division say that the O&M has been stopped since no one wants to reduce their posts but rather to increase them. According to the Civil Act 2049 and Regulations 2050, it is mentioned that the ministry or ministry-level central agency or department will be transferred by October 15th of every year. Similarly, arrangements have been made for transfer by the regional level bodies from October 16 to the middle of the month.

Accordingly, the ministry published a notification on Wednesday. The Ministry of Federal Affairs has a provision to transfer up to Deputy Secretary from August 1 to the end of August. In order to prevent transfer irregularities, the preparation of issuing transfer criteria during the tenure of the previous federal minister Bhanubhakta Joshi has been stopped. The transfer criteria draft, which is about to be finalised, is now kept secret.
