Finance Minister Dr. Swarnim Wagle has criticized the practice of appointing a large number of advisors in the Prime Minister’s Office and other ministries, stating it puts an unnecessary burden on the state treasury.
While addressing the annual revenue review meeting held at Ministry of Finance on Monday, Minister Wagle made sarcastic remarks about the large number of advisors. He said that appointing so many advisors and putting extra financial load on state resources is not a good practice at all.
During his speech, Finance Minister Wagle pointed out that there are 27 advisors in Prime Minister’s Office and 20 advisors in the Ministry of Energy. In comparison, he told that he has only appointed one honorary revenue advisor for himself.
“You all might have heard that there are 27 advisors in the Prime Minister’s Office and 20 advisors in Energy Ministry,” Wagle said. “But I have kept only one honorary revenue advisor. This shows how much importance I have given to the issue of revenue, and everyone should understand this.”
