Parliamentary committee asks PSC to cancel hiring process

Kathmandu, June 10

Following widespread criticisms from all sections of the society, the parliamentary State Affairs and Good Governance Committee has ordered to cancel the hiring process of the Public Service Commission.

The committee took the decision after consultation with the Minister for Federal Affairs and General Administration Lal Babu Pandit.

The Public Service Commission in May had published a notice to recruit as many as 9,161 staffers in 515 local governments. The issue had caused an outcry in various sections of the society, including political parties and social groups, who claimed that the move was against the spirit of federalism and sought to control the local governments.

The recruitment plan has also come under criticism from the Nepal Communist Party (NCP) lawmakers. Most lawmakers of the ruling party on the parliamentary committee have claimed that the recruitment process is unconstitutional.
