Bill bars local units from recruiting civil servants
Deputy Prime Minister Singh shared, "Civil Service, which is the backbone of governance, is an integral part of nation building. The responsibility of implementing the development, good governance and service delivery also lies upon civil service."
The role of civil service is very important to distribute dividends of democracy as well as boost citizen's trust and confidence towards the state by institutionalizing the federal democratic republic, he opined.
DPM Singh stressed, "Civil servants should be more committed to deliver easy, smooth and result-oriented services keeping service seekers in the centre," adding the civil administration remaining under political guidance should play their role to achieve long-term goals of 'Prosperous Nepal: Happy Nepali'.
Stating that the main responsibility of the civil service is to perform its duties keeping long-term goals, periodic plans, government's policies and programmes as well as budget of current fiscal year in the centre, he underlined that the government has been moving ahead for effective implementation of federalism, improvement in public service delivery and adopting zero-tolerance policy on corruption.
