Prime Minister Sushila Karki's secretariat has issued a clarification following the staff appointment controversy. Prime Minister Karki's press coordinator Ram Rawal issued a press release on Monday, saying that Prime Minister Karki's chief personal secretary Adarsh Shrestha is a 'trustworthy, reliable and dedicated person'.
Press Coordinator Rawal also claims that Prime Minister Karki, whose government was established on the strength of the Gen-G movement, has been responsible and sensitive in terms of austerity, transparency and accountability and has been behaving and behaving accordingly.
Rawal said that Prime Minister Karki appointed Shrestha, a person he trusts, as the Chief Personal Secretary. He said in a statement, 'The Prime Minister has appointed a person he can trust as the Chief Personal Secretary. The Honorable Prime Minister has only one husband in her family and has selected and appointed a trustworthy person who can support her as a family due to her old age.'
The Prime Minister's Chief Personal Secretary Shrestha had appointed Mrs. Sangeeta Shrestha to the Prime Minister's Secretariat with the same service facilities as a Joint Secretary. He appointed his wife to the Prime Minister's Secretariat on Asoj 2. Similarly, protests have started saying that Shrestha has also appointed his other relatives to the Prime Minister's Secretariat.
But Press Coordinator Rawal has claimed that Prime Minister Karki's Chief Personal Secretary Adarsh Shrestha was defamed based on the surname. 'In other appointments, the Chief Personal Secretary has been defamed and unnecessarily linked, and in some cases, he has been forcibly promoted as a relative based on surname and caste, so we request you not to do that,' Rawal said.
The Prime Minister's Secretariat also claims that the Prime Minister's Secretariat is being operated with very few manpower so that the burden on the state treasury is minimal and work can be done quickly.
'Although there are positions that can accommodate 7 advisors as per the work procedure, only 2 have been appointed so far. Although there are positions that can accommodate 19 expert employees, only 4 have been appointed, one of whom is unpaid. "Although there are 41 posts in the private secretariat, only 14 are working," the statement said.
