Since the Gen-G movement, the Karnali provincial government has neither put forward a concrete plan for the reconstruction of the structures damaged during the movement nor has it been able to accelerate development work.

The Karnali government has barely been able to spend 7 percent of the budget in the first 5 months of the current fiscal year. Which is the lowest expenditure so far. With the provincial assembly stalled for almost four and a half months, the government's work has not been effective.

The Council of Ministers has met only twice in Karnali since the Gen-G movement. A month and a half after the movement, the meeting held on Asoj 28 allocated a budget of 88.5 million rupees for the martyrs' memorial allowance, while the meeting held on Mangsir 1 could not make any decision other than merging the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Law with the Chief Minister's Office.

According to the Provincial Accounts Controller's Office, the government, which brought a budget of 32.99 billion this year, has been able to spend only 2.31 billion rupees by mid-Mangsir. Which is only 7.2 percent of the budget. While the current budget is being spent regularly, the government seems indifferent to the implementation of the development budget. On the capital side, The office has stated that only 651 million rupees (3.26 percent) have been spent by mid-Mansir out of the 19.98 billion rupees budget. Out of the 12.39 billion rupees budget, 1.66 billion rupees (13.42 percent) have been spent in 5 months.

The Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Urban Development, which has received the highest budget for development, has not yet been able to award contracts for 267 multi-year plans. Of these, 108 projects were submitted to the Provincial Planning Commission and the Ministry of Finance two months ago, but a decision has not yet been made, said Ramesh Subedi, spokesperson for the ministry. According to him, this year the ministry has allocated budget for 743 plans. Of these, only about 100 new plans have been implemented, he said. ‘How many other projects have gone through the contracting process, how many are in the evaluation stage,’ he said, ‘There has been a problem in implementing projects whose sources have not been assured.’

Similarly, in the Ministry of Water Resources and Energy Development, which has about 1,300 projects, barely 300 projects have been implemented. Ministry spokesperson Padmaraj Devkota said that the expenditure in the previous quarter was less due to delays in the budget authorization and contracting process, protests, Dashain-Tihar, etc.

Former Deputy Secretary Khamba Prasad Thani said that looking at the government’s expenditure in the first quarter, it is seen that the development of Asare will continue this year as well. ‘The provincial government has failed to implement the budget every year by making various excuses, this year too the Genji movement has been put on hold,’ he said, ‘Development and construction are at a standstill everywhere, service delivery is also disrupted, how will the people feel about the provincial government in such a situation?’

During the Gen-G movement, 38 different structures, including the Karnali Provincial Assembly, have been set on fire and vandalized. But due to the slowness of the provincial government, the details of the damage have not yet been confirmed. Provincial Assembly Secretariat Secretary Jeevraj Budhathoki said that the parliament meeting could not be held for almost four and a half months after the Provincial Assembly Secretariat was damaged due to the fire.

According to him, the sixth session of the second term of the Karnali Provincial Assembly ended on August 21. After the agitation, the assembly hall, secretariat, meeting hall, three parliamentary party offices, and two thematic committee buildings out of 23 blocks of the Provincial Assembly were completely destroyed, making the provincial assembly meeting uncertain.

The Provincial Sports Development Council and the Provincial Public Service Commission have been without leadership for almost a year due to the failure to agree on a division of power between the ruling UML and the Nepali Congress in Karnali. The post of member secretary of the Sports Council has been vacant since Poush 6 last year. Due to this, the 10th National Games to be held in Karnali has become uncertain, while senior member Basanti Shahi has been working as the acting chairperson of the Public Service Commission since Poush 3 last year.
