Behavioural change in employees needed for result-oriented public administration-PM

The High-Level Administration Reforms Implementation and Monitoring Committee submitted its annual report to the Prime Minister.

At a programme organized at the Prime Minister’s residence, Baluwatar, today, Committee Chair Kashiraj Dahal presented the Annual Report-2076 BS. Receiving the report, PM Oli underlined the need of behavioral change among civil service employees to make the public administration outcome-oriented.

"Works need to be done in a way that people get returns. The wrong policy choice in the past had made the industries sick which has resulted in unnecessary financial burden to the state to pay perks and benefits to employees".

Noting that the leadership level should also mend their ways to attain the country’s development and prosperity and maintain good governance, he directed the employees to responsibly perform their duties for the betterment of the public.

The committee’s recommendations include making uniformity in the direction of all three tiers of governments, cutting off administrative expenses, making legal arrangement to take stern actions against inappropriate acts and placing arrangements to prevent misuse of government grants.

Committee Chair Dahal shared that the report has recommended developing a system to effectively enforce the decisions of Inter-Province Coordination Council and strengthening federalism through collaboration among the three tiers of government.
