Federal Government: The enormous size delaying the federalism.

The Constitution of Nepal. 2072, has clearly listed the power and scope of the three governments, federal, provincial and local governments and the power sharing between them. Despite the allocation by government, the failure to formulate laws by the federal legislature has created a big dispute between the power exercise between the governments which has raised question over the provincial governments.  

Currently there are 22 ministries in the federal government which are still exercising the powers allocated to provincial and local governments. The massive reduction in the ministries and their scope of work by handing respective works to provincial and local governments is necessary. About 14 ministries in federal government is sufficient to address the federal powers.  

The current lower house parliament consists of 275 members. As parliament members role is to formulate policies not meant to develop infrastructure. One representative per district is enough. So, 77 parliament members representing each district is enough for parliament. The national assembly or the Rastriya Sabha consists of 59 members. It can be restructured to include experts from various fields that cannot be represented in the parliament with 23 members making total size of legislature 100 only which will drastically cut off current size of 334.
