March 21, Kathmandu – The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has urged the new government to provide pathways for individuals and officials who obtained political appointments.
General Secretary Kabindra Burlakoti of RSP expressed his viewpoint that with new circumstances and an incoming government, facilitating those with political appointments is appropriate.
“It is appropriate to facilitate officials and individuals appointed directly when a new government is forming. However, the people do not favor such appointments,” he said. “This decision is not made by the party but is the responsibility of the government. Yet, appointments beyond merit are inappropriate.”
Burlakoti emphasized that only appointments made on the basis of qualifications and merit should be facilitated.
“Only those appointed through proper merit-based processes and not beyond merit should be facilitated,” he added.
