Good governance, development top priorities: PM Oli

Kathmandu: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has spoken the need of promoting good governance as a mega campaign to address the national aspiration of ‘prosperous Nepal, happy Nepali’.

During his address to a programme organised by observing the 24th establishment day of the National Vigilance Centre at the Singha Durbar today, the Prime Minister called for considering the directive principles of the constitution and ensuring prompt services to the citizens by refraining from corruption and irregularities.

As the head of the government asserted at the programme that was attended by the government chief secretary, the chiefs of the security agencies and the government secretaries, the entire State mechanism should be equally vibrant in terms of promoting transparency in the State deliveries and guaranteeing the citizens’ right to access such services.  As he said, “Corrupt people in the positions are not going to win the people’s hearts.”

Referring to the United Nations’ commitment that ‘no one is left behind’, he affirmed the government’s dedication to ensuring a secure and dignified life for all citizens. He reiterated the need for promoting good governance and called for collective initiatives to eliminate all forms of backwardness, with the goal of transforming the country into a developed nation.

The PM expressed hope that the Centre would play a proactive role in achieving its vision.
