Govt's honeymoon report card paints positive self image
The government today published a 40-page 'progress report' of its initial 100 days in action, which tends to paint a rosy picture of governance under the Maoist-led coalition.
The report said the coalition government made significant achievements in a number of areas during the honeymoon period including foreign relations and revenue collection.
According to the report, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal's foreign trips and the successive visits of high-level foreign delegations to Nepal were very important in improving the country's foreign relations.
Unveiling the report amid a press conference in the capital, Information and Communication Minister and government spokesperson, Krishna Bahadur Mahara, said the government had to work more on institutionalising the recent political changes in the country rather than on the day-to-day problems of the people.
Saying that the budget review process took unnecessary long time, Mahara said the government would concentrate more on development works in the coming days.
He also informed that new policy on internal security and defence would be introduced very soon. In the aftermath of the deadly terror attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai adequate measures have been taken in order to upgrade security in Nepal's airports, Mahara added.
