Kathmandu, January 10
Minister for Communications and Information Technology Gokul Prasad Banskota has warned of ‘seeking options’ if officials of the Nepal Communications Authority fail to ‘correct’ their working style.
An angry minister carried out a ‘surprise inspection’ of the regulatory body on Thursday morning and directed the officials to improve their performance.
“Please present your suggestions in writing if the Ministry has obstructed your job,” he told the officials including Acting Chairman Purushottam Khanal, “But, your current performance will not work as you have to be a major component of the government’s campaign to make a digital Nepal.”
“Will you correct yourself or shall we explore other options,” he questioned the leadership.
During the visit, the Minister raised multiple questions on various activities of the Authority.
As the officials could not respond to his queries on the spot on time, he has told them to submit related documents to the Ministry by Friday afternoon, according to sources.
