June 2: Karnali Province had announced an ambitious budget for the current fiscal year but is finding it a tough job to spend on the development works with the fiscal year about to end. Almost 11 months of the current fiscal year has elapsed but the provincial government has been able to spend only 17 percent of the budget allocated for development works.

The provincial government has blamed its inability to spend on lack of manpower and legal hurdles.

Karnali Province had announced a total budget of Rs 28.28 billion out of which Rs 21.24 billion was allocated for development purpose. The provincial ministers have blamed the federal government for the poor spending on development head.

Provincial Minister for Financial Affairs and Planning Krishna Jwala blamed the federal government for the lacklusture performance of the provincial government.

He said that the provincial government could not spend on development projects as the federal government deputed civil servants quite late.

According to Minister Jwala, more than 50 percent of government staffers are yet to join their office due to which the development works have been pushed back.
