‘Employees non-cooperative for gender responsive budget’

Kathmandu: Minister for Women, Children and Senior Citizen, Bhagbati Chaudhari, has blamed the bureaucracy of not extending cooperation to the political leaders while formulating gender responsive budget. Government employees are indifferent towards formulation of gender responsive budget, he argued. Minister Chaudhari said it while putting forth her views during an interaction with lawmakers on 'gender responsive budget and sexual and reproductive rights' on Friday. The event was organized by the federalism strengthening and national concern committee of the National Assembly. "We, political leaders forward plans in a way it would create hope and ensure results, but the employees create obstruction in pretext of law," she complained. The Minister however underlined the need of working together with bureaucracy because it is the permanent government. Source: National News Agency RSS
