PM’s promise to stop nepotism!
By Yuvraj Acharya on January 27th, 2009 in Notes
Self criticism or a whip against Hisila!
I found one very positive thing in Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s message to countrymen delivered Sunday evening. At least we have a prime minister who listens to public grievances and takes them seriously, going by the words he pronounced in the message.
The issues he raised, however, were not the issues raised by members of the public. Mirror hung in Maoist leaders’ dressing rooms would easily speak the change they have gone through in a year. Leave the issues of purchasing costly bed and traveling in luxury vehicles.
Another grievance he heard is flourishing nepotism in the government and involvement of ministers. PM heard that too but what he needs to realize is that he on the top of the list of ministers involved in nepotism after Tourism Minister Hisila Yami.
PM has only handpicked some family members to fill public office posts. To name a few are his son Prakash, daughter duo Renu and Ganga, nephew Sameer, and son-in-law Arjun Pathak. It is more in number than the one who got such offices through Yami.
A microbiologist, Dr Kayo Devi Yami, was appointed National Planning Commission member before she was named a member of the Public Service Commission. Timila and Chirishobha, other sisters of Hisila, were appointed KUKL chairperson and member. Brother Bidya Ratna was appointed in Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Fund Development Committee when Hisila was Physical Planning and Works Minister.
I don’t question competence of the distinguished personalities who have made their own name in their respective fields but people have linked them with Hisila. I believe the children of late Dharma Ratna Yami don’t need other’s push to climb the peak of their career. But the culture of treating them as Hisila’s kin is unfortunate for them as well as those who have their own identity. So I advise prime minister to develop such a mechanism of appointment that would create atmosphere for the appointees to feel proud of being appointed to public offices, instead of being demoralized as the persons handpicked by their kin.
