Kathmandu: Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has not expanded the Council of Ministers even after ten days of assuming office. The health minister is not there when it comes to working at war level to control and prevent the Corona virus epidemic. On the other hand, even the private secretariat that needs step-by-step assistance is empty.
Deuba is being forced to share the ministry by reaching an understanding among the coalition parties, but what is stopping him from forming a private secretariat? According to a leader close to the Prime Minister, Deuba has tried to run differently this time than in the previous term. Deuba, who prefers to have less important political dialogue outside Baluwatar, is also going out this time to discuss power-sharing between the coalition parties and the government’s performance.
“The visit of CPN (Maoist Center) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda to the residence of Khumaltar and UML leader Madhav Kumar Nepal in Koteshwar is not only a coincidence but also a sign of a different style,” the leader said.
Prime Minister Deuba has no access to the media. Deuba himself has been telling those close to him that he has felt it. The private secretariat is not the only eye of the Prime Minister. Various interest groups and even middlemen are trying to reach out to the Prime Minister by having a representative of their choice.
Former Secretary Baburam Acharya, who was Sushil Koirala’s administrative adviser when he was prime minister, portrays the cabinet as the prime minister’s right and the secretariat as his left. “The real face of the prime minister can be seen in the activities and behavior of the secretariat, so it is important to be very careful about having experts in it,” he said. The prime minister’s secretariat has a responsibility to tell the public what is happening and what the government is doing. ‘
