Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, who underwent his third dialysis on Saturday, is now preparing to fly to the USA to undergo next kidney transplant.
Earlier in 2012, he had undergone kidney transplantation in India. However, after the kidney stopped working he went to Singapore in August and September this year for treatment. But his problem remained as they were. It was evident from the fact that he had three dialysises in Kathmandu in the last four weeks.
Physicians attending Oli had also suggested him two alternates, to continue regular dialysis or undergo another transplant operation.
And now, Prime Minister Oli had decided to undergo kidney transplant operation in the USA. While his foreign advisor has already reached to manage for the kidney transplantation, in home the PM has been taking one important decision after another.
Media reports have it that PM Oli is planning to hand over his executive power to run the government to Deputy Prime Minister Ishwar Pokharel and to run the party to another party chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal.
PM Oli will be requiring rest for at least three months if he undergoes kidney transplant operation. Thus, he has started the process of handing over the authorities he is now exercising to other party leaders. He is soon going to reshuffle the cabinet by removing at least eight sitting ministers and appointing new faces in place of them.
He has been holding consultations with Dahal, Madhav Kumar Nepal and Bam Dev Gautam on a regular basis to reshuffle the Cabinet.
The local dailies and weeklies have floated the names of Janardan Sharma, Pampha Bhushal, Surendra Pandey, Ghanashyam Bhushal, Chhabilal Bishwakarma, Krishna Gopal Shrestha, Mahesh Basnet, Parvat Gurung, Basanta Nembang, Padam Giri, Prem Aale, Yagyaraj Sunwar, Agni Prasad Sapkota, Lekhraj Bhatt and , Prabhu Shah as new faces to be inducted in the cabinet.
PM in a hurry
Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has finally decided to undergo an operation for another kidney transplant abroad, more likely in the US. After the operation, he should take complete rest for three to five months. Therefore, he is trying to complete all the works that remains to be done as soon as possible.
Last week, he made a change in his private secretariat members. Accordingly, he has decided to reshuffle the cabinet by ousting those ministers who were unable to show their performance and replacing them by new faces.
He has even tried to bring Bamdev Gautam as the deputy prime minister so that Gautam could look after the PM’s portfolio during Oli’s absence. If this attempt will not become successful, DPM Ishwor Pokhrel will look after the PM’s portfolio.
Accordingly, he has planned to give the party responsibility to co-chairman Pushpakamal Dahal to work in the party during his absence.
