The government’s performance during the last 100 days has been less than praiseworthy. except for the promulgation of the transitional justice law (“Government’s 100 days fail to cheer watchers” May 31, Page 1). However, this law has also drawn wide criticisms from civil society members, human rights activists and victims of the insurgency.

Koirala’s government also received a huge blow from the Supreme Court (SC) when it was directed to abide by the Interim Constitution (IC) while nominating the 26 lawmakers. Koirala’s lobbying to endorse the Judicial Council’s controversial recommendations of Supreme Judges has also been a matter of public’s concern.

The government lacks specific plans and programmes. It needs to convince the population that all the promises made during the CA election will be fulfilled.
