Kathmandu, 31 March : Though the government formed a committee to recommend the name of new Governor on March 22, the committee members have not formally received any correspondence from the Ministry of Finance. As per the Nepal Rastra Bank Act, the committee headed by Finance Minister Youbarj Khatiwada should appoint its members. Minister Khatiwada is reluctant to provide appointment letters and expedite the process of selecting the new Governor of the central bank.
According to Annapurna Post daily, the Cabinet meeting on March 22 had proposed Bijaynath Bhattarai, former Governor and Krishnahari Baskota, former Finance Secretary as the members of the committee.
