#RightToRejectIn2084

Although the Supreme Court ordered in Poush 2070 (December 2013 - January 2014) to implement the provision of #RightToReject in elections, even after 11 years, there has been no preparation by the Government of Nepal or the Election Commission for its implementation. It seems necessary for everyone to put pressure on the concerned authorities to enforce the Lets trend these and pressurize government  #RightToRejectIn2084 #WeWantRightToRejectIn2084 #Mission84 #RightToReject #NoneOfTheAbove #NOTA #ElectionNepal

#RightToRejectin2084

" Right to Reject ," or "None of the Above" (NOTA) option in election papers, allows voters to choose an option that signifies they do not support any of the candidates standing in the election. This option is intended to give voters a formal way to express dissatisfaction with all candidates and to potentially influence political parties to offer more suitable candidates. Though NOTA does not typically result in the annulment of the election or a re-election, it can highlight voter dissatisfaction and encourage political reform.  On January,2014, the Supreme Court has directed the government to provision the voters’ “right to reject” all candidates in elections. Its been 10 years past and still the Government and Election Commission have not shown any interest in implementing this decision and  the court ruling,  was not implemented in the 2017 and  2022 elections.  This  rule will allow a voter with an option to reject all the candidates mentioned on ball...

National Pride Projects

Although the Government of Nepal has not yet established criteria for declaring National Pride Projects, it has designated various strategically significant projects that contribute to the country's economic and social transformation as National Pride Projects at different times. So far, the government has classified and implemented 24 projects as National Pride Projects. However, none of the projects declared as National Pride Projects have been completed on time. National Pride Projects are high-priority government projects aimed at benefiting the maximum population. These projects are typically long-term in nature and are implemented through multi-year contracts. In contrast, regular projects have shorter durations and are usually completed within two to three years. The government declares a project as a "National Pride Project" when it is expected to have a significant impact on the nation's economic growth and development. Such projects are generally distinguish...

Nepal Trust

The Nepal Trust Act, which was originally formulated to allow usage only for education and health, was amended to include tourism and business. After that, a game began where the trust's property was leased to close associates for an extremely low amount, for a duration of 80 to 100 years, at a throwaway price. Everyone is involved in this collusion. What we see on the surface are the Congress and Communists, but when it comes to benefiting from it, everything is set behind the scenes.

Why do citizens even need the government ?

   #RightToRejectIn2084 Why do citizens even need the government ? To get a two-wheeler driving license takes 2-3 years. You have to run around for 2-4 days just to get a ward recommendation, citizenship, and passport. The national highway feels like an ambush. Food prices are 3-4 times higher. The country could run even if they just placed a statue on the chair!

Nepal, Electricity and Trade !!

Nepal, a country rich in water resources, holds immense potential for electricity production. Rather than selling electricity abroad, if domestic consumption could be increased, it would make a significant contribution to the country’s economy. Some questions that Nepal’s electricity and trade regulatory bodies and the government need to answer: It has been years since the claim that electricity is being wasted, but how much has the electricity tariff been reduced to encourage domestic consumption? Why is the Step-Up Tariff system, which essentially exploits the people, still in place? The more electricity people consume, the more expensive it gets—how does that encourage consumption? Isn't it high time to introduce a system where higher consumption leads to lower tariffs? Apart from lighting bulbs, who has actually been taught how to use electricity effectively? Even if electricity were provided for free starting tomorrow, would we, the lazy Nepalis, do anything other than...

Road infrastructure: A stone age in Nepal

Image
There isn’t even an example in the country of what the standard of a national highway should be. The media and politicians make a fuss, claiming that a road has been connected to the network just because a bulldozer passed through. For how long will our definition of a paved road remain just applying a layer of black coating? National highways are in such fragile condition that there isn’t even a single example in the country to set a benchmark. Either our representatives only focus on digging roads, or they have no idea about what road standards should be. We are still in the Stone Age when it comes to road infrastructure—talking about railways and water transport is nothing but a daydream. Look What a Joke!! Even Google says that to Travel from Kathmandu to Dadeldhura, home town of waiting PM Sher Bahadur Dewa, the 777Km road within Nepal takes similar time compared to 920 KM through Indian Highway. 

The sons of kings vs. the sons of today’s political leaders.

The eldest son destined to be king received an education tailored for leadership—diplomacy, strategy, and governance were all taught to him. His upbringing was entirely different from that of other family members, ensuring he was well-prepared to rule the nation. But today, leaders who entered the capital wearing cheap, worn-out sandals are behaving like a beggar who, upon receiving a banana, eats it whole with the peel. Some of their own children have already left the country, believing that their fathers’ politics won’t build a nation. Those who remain are either involved in smuggling or gang activities because their fathers failed to guide them. The so-called revolutionary leaders who once vowed to change the country couldn’t even set their own children on the right path—so how can they be expected to lead a nation?

Some suggestions for amend of the constitution to the current alliance between Congress and UML.

The current alliance between Congress and UML includes an agreement to amend the constitution. Nepal's current government and parliamentary structure appear to be quite expensive and extensive. After the formation of provincial and local governments, many public services and structures were supposed to be decentralized and handed down accordingly. However, this has not been effectively implemented. To align with the spirit of the constitution and to strengthen federalism while maximizing efficiency, some adjustments to the central government and parliament seem essential. Therefore, the following proposals have been put forward to restructure the current system: 1.  One District, One Representative Parliamentarians are meant to  formulate policies, not engage in development work . Each district should have just one representative. There is no need for absentee parliamentarians who merely sign attendance for allowances but fail to meet the quorum during sessions. MPs receive sa...
