Kathmandu, December 13
House of Representatives Speaker Devraj Ghimire has designated Secretary Padma Prasad Pandey to shoulder the responsibility of general secretary of the Parliament until further arrangements.
Ghimire designated Pandey for the post in consultation with National Assembly Chairperson Ganesh Prasad Timalsina. The post was lying vacant after Bharat Raj Gautam tendered his resignation to President Ram Chandra Paudel effective from December 10. His resignation has been accepted by the president.
In the absence of the administrative leadership, some of the works to be carried out in connection to the upcoming Parliament Service Day and the appointment of the employees recommended by the Public Service Commission had been affected, said the Federal Parliament.
Hence, Ghimire appointed Padma Prasad Pandey as the acting general secretary until further arrangements, according to the Federal Parliament.
