KATHMANDU, Dec 19: The government on Tuesday has clarified that it is eager to transfer the power to the left alliance but is seeking constitutional and legal ways to hand over the government rather than intend to protract its stay.

Responding to the left alliance’s accusation that Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and his party Nepali Congress are attempting to prolong their stay in power by denying to step down, the government’s Spokesperson and Minister for Information and Communication Mohan Bahadur Basnet, organizing a press meet in Kathmandu, said that the government is waiting for the President’s approval on the ordinance on the National Assembly Election.

“We don’t want to linger our stay in the government. We are eager to hand over the power to the left alliance,” said Basnet.

“It is really sad to hear some doubtful expressions from left alliance leaders but there are constitutional complexities.”

“Prime Minister Deuba will quit the government once President approves the ordinance on the National Assembly Election that was sent to her around two months ago,” he added.

The left alliance, CPN-UML and CPN (Maoist Center) have termed the inclusion of single transferable votes for the formation of National Assembly as unconstitutional and has taken its stance on multiple transferable votes. The ordinance is currently stuck at the Office of President.

KATHMANDU, Aug 8: Minister for Information and Communications, Mohan Bahadur Basnet, has said the government was busy with homework to establish an ‘information center’ in major countries and cities of the world as it wants right dissemination of information about domestic affairs of public interests in foreign countries. 

Addressing a program organized in his honor by Tinkune-based Kautilya Secondary School today, he said, “Establishment of such centers with the appointment of honorary information ambassador would help Nepalis residing in foreign countries get right information about Nepal’s affairs.”

The information minister went on to say that works were in the priority of the government to ensure free internet services to health centers and education institutions based in rural areas and in 11 districts mostly affected by the earthquake, and eight hit by natural disasters (landslides and floods).

According to him, Bagbazar-based Padmakanya Campus, one of the oldest government campuses remaining as a model of inclusiveness, was going to get free Wi-Fi facilities soon for two years. He pledged to link up the districts not only Bajura and Dolpa but also those not geographically far and having no connection to telephone services with such services soon.

“The information and communications is a quite broader area and we are just crawling in terms of the development of information and technology at a time when the country had to see a great achievement,” he added.

The Minister also vowed to intensify public awareness to fight superstition-based practices such as chhaupadi (residing in a hut during the menstruation prevalent in the far-western Nepal).
Giving his some inspirational words to the school students, he urged students to have a dream of becoming a good person not a ‘big one’, adding that bravery, valiance, discipline, hardship and vision were preconditions for becoming a good person in life.
