Without an eye to see the looks


Under mounting frustration over the perennial political meddling and pressure whenever the government officials' transfers take place, a secretary today let it all out in front of a House committee. The politics should guide the administration not that the administration should drive the politics, a comment echoed at the Parliament's Development Committee meeting hall. "The office clerks and non-gazetted first class officers among other officials have set a trend of knocking on the doors of the ministers seeking to transfer the secretaries; this is going out of hands, who's going to tame it? "Secretary Arjun Karki at the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport hauled the question at the gawking lawmakers. The meeting hall descended into a palpable silence when the piercing question was unleashed. "Who is going to run the administration, please I need a solution," Karki further stressed. "Why can not the honorary ministers boot out those who continue to peddle the demand for transferring the secretaries?" Secretary Karki raised another scathing question. "Why can not you ban them from your office?" He demanded. "I used to think that I could break open a hill for physical infrastructure development, but now I do not think I can," he added.
