Advisor Shah stated through social media today that the government has taken an important step to remove policy complexities in public service delivery and administrative systems.

For the same purpose, the Council of Ministers meeting on Baisakh 14 had recommended the ordinance for authentication to President Ramchandra Paudel, he informed.

He said, "Immediately after the formation of the current government, the chairman of the ruling party Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) had called for political appointees to pave the way for governance reforms in accordance with the mandate of the new mandate. Despite this request, the government has chosen this legal path to address the practical difficulties seen in performance and coordination. This will help in ending the 'deadlock' in performance and establishing a results-oriented governance system."
