Country’s diplomacy must not center on any person or political party: Lucky Sherpa

Posted by | Mar 1, 2020 | ,

Lucky Sherpa, former ambassador to Australia What is keeping you busy these days? How have you been making yourself active? I was given the responsibility of both New Zealand and Australia. After completing my responsibilities, I have been observing latest activities in Nepal for now. I have been investing my time on my committee, my relation with my organization among various development relevant study and researches. We, especially leadership levels, have had many loopholes in formulating laws from the rights in the constitution and new provisions. Various political parties have completely ignored the provision of proportional representation, given by the constitution. Only a few leaders have taken benefits of the outcome from the issues raised and various protests and revolutions staged in the past. The dream that many dreamt yesterday to transform the country, has only turned into prosperity for a few people. People had not revolted just for a few leaders. My attention will be centered on pressurizing to bring improvement on the same. The government is currently at 2/3rd majority.

Posted by | Mar 1, 2020 | ,

Official guidelines for the operation of the transport services run by the private sector are yet to be issued. The users of Tootle and Pathao’s ride-sharing service in the Kathmandu Valley is on the rise while there is no rule to look after transport services being provided by using private number plate vehicles (two-wheelers). According to the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport, discussions are underway at the Ministry to incorporate the Tootle and Pathao services in a bill relating to transport management presented earlier by the Department of Transport Management. As said by Ministry Spokesperson, no substantive decision to this regard has been made yet. The Transport Management Act-2048 BS has prohibited private vehicles from carrying passengers.
