At a time when civil servants are being criticized for not carrying out their responsibilities under the guise of political parties, the Secretary of the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration Ravilal Panth has said that the lower-ranking employees are disobeying the orders of the higher-ranking employees.

Recently, Secretary Panth said that the employees do not respect the 'chain of command'. Secretary Panth said this during the quarterly discussion on the Federal Civil Service Bill at the meeting of the Legislation Management Committee under the National Assembly on Saturday. During the discussion on section 77 of the

bill, Secretary Panth said that employees should be involved in the organizational structure. "Employees should not be in political parties, they should run in the chain of command". If not, the results will not be good,' said Secretary Panth, 'Employees are disobeying the chain of command due to various reasons . As the lower-ranked employee must follow the orders of the higher-ranked employee, the lower-ranked employee will challenge the higher-ranked employee.'

According to Secretary Panth, the bill should not be amended by the parliamentary committee as it is stipulated that employees should not be involved in political parties. 

The government has proposed in section 77 of the bill that civil servants should not be members of political parties, fraternal organizations of political parties, popular organizations of political parties or professional organizations affiliated with political parties, engage in political activities or participate in any political activities. Secretary Panth said that civil servants should be committed to the policies and programs passed by the government.

MP Krishna Prasad Sitaula said that employees should be banned from political party activities. MP Beduram Bhusal said that employees should be neutral. "Civil servants should not take membership of any political party and get involved in party activities and get involved in party politics, they should not take membership of the party or organization," said Bhusal. MP Suresh Alemgar said that a law should be made to prevent employees from joining political parties. Member of Parliament Jhakkuprasad Subedi said, 'There should be a system to not be involved in political activities and not be associated with a party in any political activity.'

There is no consensus on what arrangement to keep in this section. Based on the discussion in the committee, Tulsa Dahal, the chairman of the committee, has said that the provisions of this section will be written.
