Saving Sajha


The government shouldn't liquidate a corporation that has provided essential public transport services to Nepalis for 36 years, say employees at Sajha Yatayat. They argue the corporation should be revived and restructured as an enterprise under the Company Act, which will also help fight off the growing influence of private transport syndicates. They say the cabinet's decision to liquidate Sajha Yatayat, taken three months ago in the face of the corporation's increasing financial liability, contravenes the Co-operative Act. Analysts say the corporation has enough assets to run 60 buses that would be operational with minor repairs, and run with a downsized staff and improved management. For the past couple of years, the corporation has operated eight buses with over 700 employees-most of whom allegedly got their jobs through political pressure and government intervention.
