The Tamang Society of America has strongly condemned the recent decision by the Government of Nepal to dismiss Kulman Ghising, the Managing Director of the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), just four months before the completion of his tenure.
The organization considers this decision unjust and unacceptable, not only to Nepalese citizens residing in Nepal but also to those living abroad. Ghising is widely credited with ending up to 18 hours of daily electricity load shedding in Nepal, turning the previously loss-making NEA into a profitable entity, and implementing transformative initiatives in the power sector.
Under his leadership, Nepal’s electricity sector witnessed remarkable improvements, making his dismissal a matter of concern for the country’s future energy management. The Tamang Society of America believes that removing Ghising at such a critical time could negatively impact the progress made in the sector.
The organization has urged the Government of Nepal to reconsider its decision and reinstate Ghising, emphasizing that his expertise and leadership remain essential for the continued development of the nation’s electricity infrastructure.
Furthermore, the Tamang Society of America has called on all concerned individuals and organizations to unite and raise their voices in support of Kulman Ghising’s reinstatement.
