Now or Never: The Reform for Nepal Public Governance

 After the September 8 and 9 revolution, Nepal is on the midway between a new sunrise or the same dark era of old governance.

Many voice have been loud now for the complete reform of the executive and legislature body of the nation. Within this the complete reform of the government bodies, ministries and other administrative bodies of the government is the most. So this is the best time to implement reforms to reduce Nepal's current government expenditure.

The basic and foremost transformation is needed in Health, Education and Employment.

The current lower house parliament consists of 275 members. As parliament members mole 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.

Bureaucracy, the permanent government of a nation is the area which needs a complete reform with citizens oriented service in frontline rather than the old hectic and lengthy service. Single Window System, the complete output of any service from a single point where the initial application is summitted, is necessary in the public governance of Nepal. Every government office should reform their working motive with service delivery and transparency first. The government offices should be reorganized with simple and efficient organizational structure replacing the old bulkier structures. 

The current 22 ministries in the federal government are enormous size for the efficient federal mobilization. So, there is quick need of  reformation of the federal ministries and their scope of work by releasing respective works to province and local governments. About 14 ministries in federal government are sufficient to address the federal powers.  

Also there has been a debate over size of Nepalese Army But the current scenario after the revolution has shown the importance of military force in the nation. So, leaving the debate over the size of Nepal Army, there has been a need to reorganize and restructure the Nepal Police and APF into one unit.  These two units should me merged and made efficient with special forces within them for general public security and emergency securities. 

Nepal's Federal Government and Organization needs a massive reshuffle.

After the September 8 and 9 revolution, Nepal is on the path of fresh election mandates. Many voice have been loud now for the complete reform of the executive and legislature body of the nation. Within this the complete reform of the government bodies, ministries and other administrative bodies of the government is the most. So this is the best time to implement reforms to reduce Nepal's current government expenditure. Its now or never situation for Nepal now to make its organizational structure competent and deliverable.

Nepal's current government and parliamentary structure appear to be quite expensive and extensive. 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 so a special department/committe to restructure the size of federal government and cut off the expenditure rapidly.

Some possible steps may be:

1. Only 14 Ministries in Nepal Government.

2. Can Monarchy be a solution for current Nepalese Political scenario?

3. Nepal Army; Increase or Decrease the size?The debate of size of Nepalese Army!!

4. How long will the rule of the elderly continue?

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

6. 77 Districts, 77 Parliament Members

7. 23 membered expert and inclusive national assembly.

Proposal for restructuring Federal Government: Only 14 Ministries!

 Currently there are 22 Ministries in Nepal Government including the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers. They are as follows:
