PM directs secretaries to forward plans that ensure development wave

Kathmandu / Aug 15: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has directed the ministers and secretaries to forward the plans that help bring about a development wave in the country. Concrete plans that pave way for development and set records should be brought forth, he underlined.

During a meeting held at his office, Singha Durbar, on Thursday, PM Oli viewed it was essential to bring more systematic plans so that people’s needs would be addressed. The meeting dwelt on annual progress review, implementation of current budget and programmes, and major task of the government to be carried out within 100 days.

National economy could be made dynamic once development expenditure was made 100 percent, he said, adding, “We’re not just employees but working for people’s service and development. We’re working for future generation. It cannot be equated to paid work.”

The Head of the Executive further said the objectives must not be imaginary but factual. However, we should not avoid setting ambitions.

According to him, time has come to show the performance within three months that outpace previous initiatives. “Don’t get afraid of anti-graft body while dealing with multiple problems and setting development plans. If you do not involve in corruption, the anti-graft body does nothing,” he reminded the senior government officials.

The PM also directed all concerned to effectively enforce Digital Nepal Framework, supply pure goods, foods to people, ensure vocational training, agricultural tools and other essentials to farmers, and utilize the available resources.

Attention of the ministers and secretaries was also drawn on the occasion on issues such as prioritization of information technology, settlement of inter-ministerial agenda within three months, creation of jobs and entrepreneurs, transformation of PM employment programme, and encouraging child maternal health.
