Prime Minister's Team Strategized German Contract Termination from Inception

The Prime Minister's team reportedly strategized from an early stage, specifically before Ashadh 1, to terminate contracts with German companies. This move was intended to re-award the passport printing contract to the French company 'Idemia'. This indicates a significant shift in government procurement and international partnership strategy under the current administration. Such decisions, while potentially aimed at efficiency, often raise questions regarding transparency and due process. The long-term implications for Nepal's democracy hinge on the clarity and public accountability of these high-value contract reallocations.
