He said, “Why should the government intervene to remove an employee? The government can discharge an employee when needed and can also retain employees as required.” Minister Khadka stated that those who contribute to the NEA will be rewarded and those who do wrong will be punished.
Upon being asked about why the NEA was given a zero score in the performance evaluation, Minister Khadka responded, “What happens when a student is absent for an exam? The same thing happened here. They could not receive the score because they failed to submit their work performance on time.”
