Karnali Ministers' Arbitrary Decisions
Summary
Budget misallocations in Karnali province reveal ministers including plans for schools and bar buildings under tourism to favor their home districts and namesakes despite official prohibitions.
Key Points
- Budgets for school and bar association building projects have been improperly included under tourism promotion programs in Karnali province.
- Ministers have been allocating fragmented and unproductive plans at their discretion, often favoring projects in their home districts or named after political leaders.
- The provincial government's project selection procedure intends for impactful and strategic projects, but its implementation has been undermined by political interference.
- Though parliamentary agreements prohibit budgets for memorial buildings and plans named after leaders, such allocations still appear in the budget but are reportedly not implemented.
