Nepal's current government and parliamentary structure appear to be quite expensive and extensive. Also the province governments have not been able to exercise the powers as mentioned in government because of similar power exercise form federal government. So, to reduce the government current expenditure and share powers among province and local governments, the federal government should rapidly cut of the current 22 ministries to 14 ministries as follows.
