Janardan Sharma, the finance minister, said that the collection of records was happening as the government was unaware of how many vehicles the administration owned.
“But, there are always demands for new vehicles,” the Minister said. These statements came at a meeting which discussed Sustainable Development in the House of Representatives.
Janardan Sharma stated the records would help the government buy new vehicles only if they needed one.
“They say they need vehicles, but there is no record of how many vehicles are purchased so far. You keep on buying, but you don’t know who is using what and where,” the Minister lamented.

Reacting to the SC’s verdict, CPN-UML spokesperson and former foreign minister Pradeep Gyawali claimed that the move is unexpected and contrary to the Constitution.
“Wrong and unjustifiable, but will abide by it,” said Gyawali.
On Tuesday, President Bidya Devi Bhandari has appointed Deuba as the Prime Minister of Nepal, as per Article 76(5) of the Constitution of Nepal.
By the evening, the incoming PM Deuba has taken Oath of Office and Secrecy amid a special ceremony at the Office of President, Shital Niwas. President Bhandari administered the oath.
Earlier, Deuba had rejected the oath as the statement issued by President’s Office failed to mention anything about Article 76(5). Instead, the statement mentioned only the mandamus of the SC to appoint Deuba as the new PM.
Meanwhile, PM Deuba picked four ministerial candidates.
NC Chief Whip Bal Krishna Khand has been appointed as Home Minister and former finance minister Gyanendra Bahadur Karki as Law Minister. Likewise, Maoist Center party leader Janardan Sharma has been appointed as Finance Minister and Pampha Bhusal as Energy Minister.
President Bhandari also administered an oath of office and secrecy to these four ministers.
