I am therefore indebted to a large number of people and agencies. Firstly, I am most grateful to the Royal Government of Bhutan for granting me a long leave of absence from work. In the Ministry of Agriculture where I work, I am most thankful to Lyonpo (Dr.) Kinzang Dorji, former Minister; Dasho Sangay Thinley, Secretary; and Dr. Pema Choephyel, Director. I also remain most thankful to Lyonpo Sangay Ngedup, Minister for his good wishes and personal interest in the research topic. With the war cry of ‘Walking the Extra Mile’, the Minister is all out to bring about a major transformation in rural life in the country. I look forward to being a part of the exciting time ahead in rural development in Bhutan. I have also received much support from Lyonpo (Dr.) Jigme Singay, Minister for Health, when the Minister was then Secretary, Royal Civil Service Commission. His Lordship Chief Justice Lyonpo Sonam Tobgye has been a source of great inspiration, support and information. I remain much indebted to the two Lyonpos.

  • Mps Choose Party Event Over Parliament Duty October 7, 2020
    MPs choose party event over Parliament duty October 7, 2020 MB Subba Speaker Wangchuk Namgyel is known to be strict with the proceedings of Parliament and a no- nonsense Speaker when it comes to Parliament issues. He has made this known to Members of Parliament after most of them missed an important meeting. A presentation of the annual audit report 2019 by Royal Audit Authority (RAA) was scheduled in the afternoon of October 5. It coincided with the introduction of Druk Nyamrup Tshogpa’s candidate for the Chhokhor-Tang bye-election. Astonishingly about 17 ruling party MPs, including four ministers that were in Thimphu, chose to attend the candidate launch over the audit meeting. In total, about 12 National Assembly members attended the meeting. But only two of them—the Speaker and Tashichhoeling MP Dil Maya Rai who attended the meeting as a member of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC)—were from the 30-member strong Ruling Party. Ten MPs from the 16-member Opposition Party attended the meeting, which is conducted annually by the PAC for MPs to clarify doubts and queries with RAA officials on irregularities reported in ministries and agencies. It was learnt that some of the MPs failed to turn up despite being within Thimphu without official duty. The lack of interest in the meeting from the MPs has come at a time when some people are questioning what they are up to in the Covid-19 pandemic. Speaker Wangchuk Namgyel said all the MPs were invited for the meeting while three were either on leave or official tours.
