Change character of governance to connect republic with citizens’ lives-President

Kathmandu: President Ramchandra Paudel has stated that the biggest enemy of the republic is red tape, irregularity, and mismanagement.

In his message of congratulations and best wishes on the occasion of Republic Day, 2082, the President emphasised that bare political outcomes are not enough to connect the republic with the lives of citizens, and that we must change our governance character.

The Head of State insists on the need to change the character of governance, politics, parties, and leaders.

“We must change our governance character. I believe we should not have any delay in making our politics, governance style, political parties, and representative institutions fully democratic, impartial, competitive, just, and effective to preserve the essence and excellence of the republic”, the message reads.

President Paudel stresses the need to perform in a way that does not dent the hope of citizens who cherish the beautiful dream of a democratic republic.

“As long as the lamp of hope does not bring light to the life of every citizen, we will not achieve the goal of the federal democratic republic that we have exchanged with our blood and toil”, he noted in the message.

“Citizens are seeking prosperity with good governance, employment, opportunities, equitable distribution of resources, and arrangements for social justice.

Without economic development, none of these are possible, so everyone must take this seriously”, the President empathized.
