”We are serious about avoiding malpractices in the government sector,” said he, “And, this new leadership (Maoist) is committed to go against all malpractice.

While informing that the government’s plans and policies would be unveiled next week, he said that the civil servants have to play a crucial role to make it successful.

PM Dahal also said that the government’s success and failure depends on the civil servants. He added the people’s aspiration will also fall short if the present government becomes unsuccessful.

On the occasion, the prime minister felicitated twenty outstanding civil employees with the Best Government Employee Award for the year 2008. Among those receiving the awards are: Kishor Thapa, Nawaraj Bista, Laxmi Bhushal, Birendra Kumar Mishra and Shovakanta Nepal. Bista received the award posthumously.

Chief Secretary Bhoj Raj Ghimire said that more responsibilities have come upon the shoulder of civil servants after the Constituent Assembly elections.
