Addressing the seventh general assembly of Center for Administration, Management and Development (CAMAD) in the capital, they said the practice was hindering the bureaucracy from growing up as a professional and independent government mechanism.
"The government has formed separate ministries that do not have works enough for even a division of a ministry," said former secretary Umesh Prasad Mainali, referring to Ministry of Federal Affairs, Constituent Assembly, Parliamentary Affairs and Culture. "Worse still, the government has deputed two secretaries in such ministries."
He criticized the government move to depute special class officers in offices such as Kathmandu Metropolitan City. He argued that the move to split and merge the ministries in the name of satisfying coalition partners will greatly affect the growth of bureaucracy. "What can be expected from a bureaucracy where merit is utterly ignored?" he asked.
Addressing the function, another public administration expert Dr Madhu Nidhi Tiwari said the government was taking decisions on such crucial matters without making necessary study.
Tiwari said there should be debate whether the government employees will be recruited by respective state´s public service commission or central public service commission when the country embraces federalism.
The assembly unanimously elected Dilli Shiwakoti as the chairman of the CAMAD for the third term. Other members unanimously elected in the CAMAD include Shankar Kharel, Kosh Hari Niraula, Diwas Acharya, Bal Krishna Ghimire, Prem Narayan Sharma, Purushottam Nepal, Pradip Kumar Koirala, Krishna Bahadur Katawal, Lal Babu Kawari and Mohan Bahadur Thapa Magar.
