Home Minister Sudhan Gurung has complained that the budget allocated for the Home Ministry is inadequate.
Speaking at the State Affairs and Good Governance Committee meeting held at Singha Durbar on Thursday, he said this. He said that the ministry lacks resources to work on serious issues such as good governance, disaster management and drug control.
Minister Gurung said that although he has worked hard to bring in an additional Rs 20 billion above the budget ceiling, it is still not enough.
Speaking in the context of disaster management, Minister Gurung said that the procurement of rescue equipment is being delayed due to the cumbersome provisions of the Public Procurement Act. Stating that the 45-day process for purchasing heavy-duty drones will end the monsoon, he urged the lawmakers to support the amendment of the act.
‘The ministry lacks budget. We have been sent on a challenging task, but the resources are very limited.’ "If the honorable members of parliament raise their voices for an increase in the budget of the Ministry of Home Affairs, our agencies will be able to work more effectively," he said.
