Former Finance Minister and Maoist MP Barshman Pun has said that the appointment of the Governor of Nepal Rastra Bank will confirm who is running the government. This reaction of former finance minister Pun came when the ruling parties UML and Congress could not reach an agreement on the appointment of the governor.
At the Federal Parliament Building on Tuesday, MP Pun said that whether a political party or a politician is running the country or someone else will be clear until the appointment of the governor.
'Governor issue has been politicized . It is getting more and more clear that political parties are running the country or someone else is running the country," he said. Politicians or intermediaries? Today, all the facts and behavior confirm that.'
He said that although there is a trend of making the governor of Nepal Rastra Bank from among the deputy governors, it is not the case that it is a global trend to make experts or people who have acquired expertise in monetary policy. He said that the governor will not be appointed until the DNA is matched with the interest group as they are looking for a person who is preferred by an interest group and will fulfill their business interests.
'Here, the party worker is preferred by some other interest group, and is sought to fulfill their commercial interests. The governor is not going to be appointed until DNA is found with the interest group,' he said, 'It should be done one month before the governor leaves, but it is a tragedy that the appointment cannot be made even after two months. The law has been violated.'
Pun said that the agenda of political parties and interest groups do not match in the appointment of the governor . "On the one hand, interest groups are looking for their favorites, on the other hand, party workers are being looked for," he asked, "how does the country's economy and banks and financial institutions run?" The government should bring wisdom to it. We have no objection to anyone who has acquired expertise in monetary policy, economic policy or financial policy, whether he is an activist or an ordinary voter or supporter. However, I want to make the government aware that interests should not be in the interests of groups, political activists, non-expert people should not come.'
