. Arjun Jung Thapa, former secretary of the government of Nepal and an infrastructure expert, has said that the sick contract has come easily. Presenting a working paper at a dialogue programme with stakeholders on ‘sick contract management’ organized by Nepal Infrastructure Journalists’ Society in Kathmandu on Tuesday, he said that it was necessary to reduce the sick contract to zero even if the condition of sick contract was eased.
}’As of December 2018, 1848 contracts worth Rs 118 billion were sick. The deadline for the 1032 contract was in a state of collapse. Rs 23.60 billion was yet to be raised. Rs 5.90 billion was at risk of performance guarantee,” he said, “At that time, the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) studied it and gave 30-35 recommendations. He suggested increasing the human resources, increasing the capacity of the employees, facilitating the contract, monitoring etc. ’
He said that all the concerned agencies have followed this rule. As a result, more than 1,800 sick contracts have now been reduced to 400,000, he said. “It’s a lot in itself, but we’re in a comfortable situation. We have come from a terrible situation to a very comfortable situation. But it has to be brought to zero. ” he says.
