Kathmandu, Feb 20: The government has intensified the activities on restructuring of administration as per the changed set ups of federal, provincial and local governments. Structure, institutional management, determination of posts and terms of references are being finalized to suit the change.
During a press meet organized by federalism implementation and administration restructuring coordination committee on Sunday, it was informed that the structure of ministry, department, corporations, committee, commission and board has been outlined.
The committee is coordinated by Chief Secretary Dr Som Lal Subedi. He said at the press meet that the adjustment and integration of human resources in local, federal and central levels was underway. “Fiscal federalization, fiscal transfer among government agencies, grant management, resource mobilization, formulation and amendment of laws, acts, rules and work procedures are other activities the committee is focused on,” he said, adding that the committee has concluded that the country does not need more than 15 to 20 ministries in the central level.
Similarly, he said although the constitution has fixed the number of ministers at 25, the number of ministries is not mentioned. As there is the political tradition of increasing number of ministries for the formation of consensus government, there was nothing the bureaucracy could do to check it, he worried.
According to him, the existing budget size could suffice the federal system too. RSS
