Kathmandu, Nepal – Nepal’s Energy Minister Dipak Khadka has once again questioned Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) Executive Director Kulman Ghising’s position. Dissatisfied with Ghising’s previous explanation, the minister has given him a 24-hour ultimatum to justify why he should not be removed.
The primary concerns revolve around Ghising’s participation in the upcoming Nepal-India Bilateral Power Exchange Committee meeting on February 12, 2025. Additionally, the ministry is scrutinizing his involvement in signing a financial agreement allegedly without prior approval from the Finance Ministry, potentially violating government regulations.
Kulman Ghising, widely credited for resolving Nepal’s energy crisis, has played a crucial role in the country's electricity management. However, this recent controversy raises questions about governance and accountability within the NEA.
The situation is rapidly evolving, and Ghising’s response will be critical in determining his future at the NEA. Will Nepal’s most celebrated energy leader withstand this political pressure? Stay tuned for updates.
