The Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers has requested the National Vigilance Center to monitor staff management. The Prime Minister's Office has assigned the responsibility to the Center to monitor the management of the Ministry of Home Affairs and Federal Affairs and General Administration, saying that the Ministry of Home and Federal Affairs and General Administration has disrupted the governance and service delivery of the state by making employees unemployed.

The Prime Minister's Office has given written instructions on Sunday to the Ministry of Home Affairs and Federal Affairs to arrange staff management within three days. The center has been given a written task to submit a report on the fourth day after monitoring whether the management has been arranged/not arranged within the specified time.

The Prime Minister's Office has also prepared to ask the secretaries of the ministries about the reasons for not coordinating the management based on the Vigilance Center's report. 

"There is an increasing tendency to assign responsibility to employees of lower ranks and ranks without posting the approved positions and ranks," said the letter signed by Kiran Rupakheti, joint secretary of the Government Reforms Division of the Prime Minister's Office.

The Prime Minister's Office has mentioned that not giving work to employees is a waste of state resources and it will also affect the moral development of employees. 

After repeated incidents of many employees staying idle in the Ministry of Home Affairs and Federal Affairs, the Prime Minister's Office said that service delivery has also been affected due to non-coordination of staff management. On the one hand, there is a lack of staff in various agencies of the state, including the local level. On the other hand, those who are getting paid by roaming around Singha Darbar have not got jobs, said a source in the Prime Minister's Office. 

According to the spokesperson and joint secretary of the Ministry of Federal Affairs, Kali Prasad Parajuli, more than 250 municipalities have acting chief administrative officers. In 10 of the 11 sub-metropolises, the post of chief administrative officer is vacant.

It is arranged that the position of the chief administrative officer of the metropolis and sub-metropolis will be that of the joint secretary. Out of the 6 metropolises, the post of chief administrative officer is vacant in Birganj. Parajuli informed that the management of 30 to 35 deputy secretaries has yet to be arranged. 

The head of administration and joint secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Chabbi Rizal, said that 19 deputy secretaries and 4 joint secretaries are yet to be managed in his ministry. He informed that he had written to the federal ministry in November to transfer the undersecretary who is over the quota.  Both ministries are coordinating. It will be managed in a short time,” he said. At the local level, there is a legal arrangement for the appointment of the chief administrative officer of the association.

 Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Friday gathered the secretaries at the staff college in Jawalakhel and expressed his dissatisfaction with the work of the staff. In particular, the matter of negligence regarding the transfer, promotion, work etc. of employees has been raised time and time again. The problem has persisted since the meeting held several times since last August under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary Ek Narayan Aryal has given 15 days time to collect the details of the current status of the employees and arrange the management of matters such as transfer and work.

On October 7, a meeting chaired by the Chief Secretary decided to collect the details of the employees. But which employees are working where? Have you gone to the assigned place or not? How many people are sitting in which office? How many are there in Fazil? The prime minister's office has not yet received the exact details.
