This is another example how the political course works in
Nepal and depicts how powerless are the people. As for the common public it is
not why Lok Mansingh Karki is appointed as the chief of CIAA but how as the
chief secretary under king's direct rule he suppressed democratic movement that
resulted many loss of lives. Political parties especially Maoist was at the forefront
to disclose their hue and cry against this person. This shows how political parties show no moral
values and indifferent towards public sentiments. The question comes for whom
they fought war and for what reason they sacrifice the thousands of people? Why
many people were killed who were in favor of monarchy during insurgency? Is it just the monarchy as a system that was
bad? Does the system run itself or are
there any actors involved to run it? Having any political faith of any common
individual should be respected but the question is about the person who has
such a negative image and indulged in political offense, abuse of power and
against the public sentiments.
The appointment of new CIAA shows the political parties are
just far from people. Even the independent publics do not favor this
appointment because of the image this newly appointed person created and
responsibility of creating this image profoundly goes the political parties
themselves. This is a strong evidence which made people believe he not the
right person for the right job.
Cross-party political panel recommended Karki as the new
chief of CIAA. Waves of suspicion is
that- Is the real kingmaker sits somewhere else? If this appointment is just
the result of tussle and a matter of coincidence that is different angle but if
it is a preconceived affair for fulfilling some body's vested interest it will bring
another setback for the country. Even more serious is it will tarnish
democratic norms and values- people elected government, constitutional appointment,
and bureaucratic values. This will land the country in the wave of circular
notions where we can not separate between the past bad order and the positive
changes we are proud of so far today.
