Answer:

best answer ever

Step-by-step explanation:

So, if I am Prime minister of ..... l, I may do the following things, and again, just because a PM says or does something doesn’t mean it happens automatically, you have to deal with individual ministries and civil servants, media, the opposition party, judiciary, and others, It’s not a dictatorship where things get done just by speaking. Anyway, here are a few things.

Rule of law: Yes, that’s my priority to ensure that Constitution and laws are applied to everybody, rich and poor, politically connected, and others. This will be very difficult in the case of a coalition Govt but it can be done in a majority Govt with strong will and good ministers in various places. What can be done?? Well, we can first start by prosecuting previous cases of violation of rule of law by powerful politicians and others, media can help in that. Giving resources to public prosecutors and hiring good people so that accused are punished. Increasing punishment for things like corruption (It’s just 2 years in Nepal for big corruption) can also help. it must be assured that nobody is above the law and that way, their faith in Govt and democracy will be restored a bit.

Expedite construction projects: We have too many problems in Nepal with slow approval process or red tape regulation and also with procurement and contractors, among others which delays vital projects like building roads, airports, bridges, pipelines for water among others and even if they are built, it’s of less quality because a lot of money is being wasted on commission and there is corruption. I will create a task force of expert people from all relevant backgrounds to suggest ways to expedite construction projects including Hydropower projects, try to find out root problems and how to address them, see if the problems are politicians bureaucrats or private sector, and give me ways. A PM cannot know everything and we need to rely on experts for a solution. One of the biggest problems in Nepal is that politicians here including PM believe only they are real experts and don’t need help from anybody. We need to change that approach.

Electricity generation: This is a must for economic development in Nepal because without electricity there can be no industrialization. As everyone knows, Nepal has a huge potential in hydroelectricity which is renewable but big projects have been delayed for a long time. We need to expedite such big projects but also help the private sector build small hydropower projects in small communities to make them itself-sufficientient. Nepal’s total hydropower generation many says is around 80,000 MW (I am not sure, need to look at that as well) and many in Nepal say, we must build hydropower projects to then immediately sell to India. I think, first, we should make Nepal self-sufficient and then only think about other Countries. Electricity can be used not just for regular stuff but also for industries, we can give thousands of MW to industries in Nepal that will employ millions of good-paying jobs in Nepal, we can use electricity to make Nepal a leader in electric vehicles, and using renewables. We import billions of petroleum from India, if we can only try to reduce it by using electric vehicles, esp in Kathmandu, it will make a difference. Again, these are long-term projects and only a PM cannot do anything, huge amount of cooperation is needed on all sides, from Nepali people to the private sector. Nepal govt can always give incentives like custom-free electric vehicles that are cheap to tax credits for companies among others.
