KARNALI: Amid concerns about intergovernmental relations for effective federalism in the country, Chief Minister of Karnali Province Jeevan Bahadur Shahi has proposed that the federal government should lead the budget-making task.
He suggested the provincial government should be given the job of project development and the part of implementation should be local government.
Chief Minister Shahi said that federalism would give good results and people’s faith would increase only if such a system was developed.
He also described the local level government as a ‘people’s oven’, province government as a ‘visible government’ and federal government as an ‘audible’ government.
CM Shahi argued that the federal and local governments have not accepted the structure of the provincial government though the provincial structures are in place in federalism.
“Central and local bodies were in place even in the past. Fundamentally, federalism is similar to provincial structure. Province could be dissolved if the federal and local governments are not accepting the provincial structure,” Shahi argued.
