Kulman Ghising: Government Has Energy, Needs Experience

Former Nepal Electricity Authority Executive Director Kulman Ghising has offered a measured assessment of the government’s first 100 days, saying the administration has demonstrated enthusiasm and a willingness to work but still appears to lack the experience and maturity needed for stronger policy execution. His remarks, shared through a personal Facebook post, have drawn both support and disagreement online.

Rather than dismissing the government’s performance outright, Ghising acknowledged that the leadership has shown energy, commitment and an intention to deliver results. At the same time, he argued that these qualities alone are not enough to meet public expectations if they are not matched by sound decision-making and administrative competence.

Call for Greater Policy Capacity

Ghising’s comments suggest that while the government has made an energetic start, it still needs to strengthen its policy decisions, implementation capacity and institutional expertise. His assessment reflects an expectation that the administration should move beyond intent and demonstrate greater effectiveness in governance as it progresses beyond its initial months in office.

The remarks also underline a broader public debate that often accompanies the early months of a new government: whether visible enthusiasm should be judged on its own or alongside concrete administrative outcomes.

Mixed Public Response

Reactions to Ghising’s post have varied.

• Some social media users described his assessment as a realistic reading of the government’s early performance.
• Others argued that the administration deserves more time before its effectiveness can be fairly evaluated.

As of now, the government has not issued any official response to Ghising’s observations, which were expressed through his personal Facebook account.
