The basic condition for a person who reaches any position is to carry out responsibility honestly to the best of his ability. But in Nepal, many people who have reached the highest administrative positions such as secretary or chief secretary are using their responsibilities as a prerequisite for constitutional and political appointments.

 The 'line' that Chief Secretaries like Lokdarshan Regmi, Somlal Subedi, Shankardas Bairagi arranged to become Ambassador, Alternate Executive Director of ADB and Advisor to National Security Council respectively, it is clear that they were just 'warming up' for their upcoming 'career' by sitting on the Chief Secretary's chair. The existing post-retirement recruitment facility and the scramble for it reflects the common attitude of the workforce.

This is not only the tendency of a particular person to 'loop around', but also the issue of 'conflict of interest' related to official dignity, so the need to keep a 'cooling period' of retirement and re-appointment has become more intense. The provision regarding the 'cooling period' which is going to be placed in the 'Bill on the formation, operation and conditions of service of the Federal Civil Service' which is currently under consideration in the State Order and Good Governance Committee is positive. The determination of the committee and MPs is expected to give it legal status. The trend of establishing close ties with certain political parties and leadership while in the post of

and being appointed after retirement with their support has become common. As a result, our constitutional bodies are becoming like a club of ex-administrators. It is destroying the image of the concerned employees and constitutional bodies. First, it has discredited the staff as greedy for position. At the same time, the question of impartiality continues to arise as political affiliations are 'exposed' by immediate appointment.

Even if you get appointed in a new place, it is difficult to perform an effective role. Secondly, the dignity of the concerned body is also weakened. Appointed officials tend to have a soft view of the political leadership that appoints them. They cannot take a decision against the appointee. It is not an old incident that the Election Commission was unable to take a decision on the authority of the leadership in the then NCP dispute. Due to such a situation, the constitutional responsibility of such bodies is being weakened and the justification has become a question.

The relationship of mutual interest that is formed between the political leadership and the employees works in the trend of appointing after retirement. Political leadership creates opportunities and exploits its own employees. They make decisions for their personal or group interests through them. The inner purpose of occasional employee transfers is to help them make decisions in their best interest. Not only when he is an employee, but also when he is appointed to a constitutional body, he aims to help himself.

employees also get opportunities for transfer-promotion and appointment even after retirement while remaining in office with close ties to the political leadership. As a result, they are ready to become the cause of the illegitimate work of the political leadership. Likewise, employees take a role in keeping legal provisions, make administrative decisions, and manage budgets while paying attention to their future career. But if you can keep a wide 'cooling period' for the appointment, you can control the interest-relations between the political leadership and the employees.

employees also give up the temptation to get an immediate appointment. Mainly it minimizes the wrong decisions that can be made by employees in political patronage. Looking at the future, they cannot abuse their official role now. Overall, the reduction occurs when employees are guided by greed. If there is no room for greed, they can also increase the efficiency in their work. 

While remaining in a position, even while remaining in the highest position of the employee class, greed for other positions and being active in aligning the 'line' with the political leadership for that is a question of the ethics of the concerned person, it is also an insult to the position he is holding. A person who cannot show sincerity towards his position of responsibility cannot do justice to any position.

Some of those who were appointed immediately after retirement may have completed their duties, but they have weakened the image of the individual and the related body. It cannot be said otherwise that individuals seek opportunities according to prevailing laws and international standards, but for that, the functionality and decision-making power of constitutional commissions cannot be compromised. But our constitutional commissions are losing their dignity as they become a club of ex-administrators.
