'Civil Service Act to be amended'

Lalitpur, March 3 (RSS): His Majesty's Government is making necessary preparations for amending the Civil Services Act in order to make the administrative machinery more scientific, people-oriented, transparent and impartial.

Changes will be made in the existing Civil Service Act to encourage more women in the civil service, besides improving promotion procedures and checking politicisation in the offices.

Inaugurating a talk programme on, "Policy uncertainities in the civil service" organised by the Centre for Administrative Management and Development (CAMAD) and the 4th general meeting of CAMAD here today, Minister for General Administration Khemraj Bhatta Mayalu said that it is the need of the day to make the civil service impartial, transparent and free from corruption.

The Minister said that the administrative offices should have only one employees association.

Protesting against the practice of formulating and changing laws and regulations for selfish interests, MP Mahendra Bahadur Pandey stressed the need to make the administrative machinery more efficient, people-oriented and healthy.

Presenting a working paper, Dr. Madhunidhi Tiwari said that the government's policies on development, economic, social, administrative, decentralisation and local government were very unstable.

Dr. Tiwari said that political instability, lack of policy analysis, long term thinking, responsibilities and all party agreed national policy as well as vested interest, corruption, economic irregularities and pressure of donar countries have caused instability in government policies.

Dr. Tiwari stressed the need to formulate a long term effective policy, develop a system for analysis, involve professionals in administrative machinery, develop a system of apprising the civil servants of their duties and responsibilities, involve beneficial persons, train the policy makers on running the state and develop farsighted leadership.

President of CAMAD Umesh Mainali said CAMAD is actively involved in creative works.
