family man Prachanda betraying...........

This is nothing new as you are all aware of the fact that Nepalese politicians have always promoted themselves and their own family members at every opportunity that they have been granted and the Maoist rebel leader Prachanda is no exception. He too has a family that has suffered because of his decade long terror related activities and now is the best time to reward the family members cause if not now then when. You have been rewarded the Prime Ministers position and it is your license to do whatever you want.

The issue of appointing beloved son Prakash Dahal as the Computer Official and junior Dahal having been granted the opportunity to visit the US recently on a State Junket is still being discussed with distaste among the public. Yet another revelation as regards PM Dahal’s excessive family bend becomes clear when he, it is learnt, appointed his own daughter Ganga Dahal and nephew Samir Dahal as his personal secretaries at the Prime Ministerial secretariat. Both Dahals’ have been granted a post similar to the State Level Section Officer and will also receive benefits similar to what the government officials’ pocket. Reports say that by appointing his family members in the important State portfolios the Maoists prime minister has breached a code of the conduct signed by UML General Secretary Jhal Nath Khanal, MJF President Upendra Yadav and PM Dahal himself prior to the formation of the new-government on August 21, 2008. As per the code of the conduct clause 8, all the members of the cabinet should not appoint any of their relatives in the government posts nor they will carry their near relatives on a foreign tour.

Code of conducts and agreements only look good on paper and mean nothing to the Maoists. They are the rebels who have breached all agreements and have broken all state laws and are currently functioning under the jungle rule. The question is does mother Nepal lack qualified hard working personalities or are the politicians as always going to deprive the citizens of their jobs by awarding them to family members regardless of their qualifications and ability to perform.
