We, as concerned citizens and advocates of good governance, human rights, and the rule of law, write to express our profound concern regarding the recent appointment of Mr Rabi Lamichane, chairperson of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), as the Home Minister of Nepal. Your decision in this matter and the subsequent defense of it, rather than a gesture of regret, has raised significant concerns about the integrity of the government and its adherence to constitutional principles, the Good Governance Act, the Convention against Corruption, and the coalition's 8-point agreement.
