Nepal crisis: An interim government with 'Gen Z' members the solution?

As Nepal plunged deeper into a crisis following the anti-government protests by 'Gen Z' members, leading to the resignation of prime minister K.P. Sharma Oli and other cabinet members, Kulman Ghising, renowned Nepali engineer and administrator, best known for ending the countr;s decades-long load-shedding crisis after he took over as the managing director of the Nepal Electricity Authority, came up with a suggestion for an interim government.

The anti-government protests that have spread across the country have refused to die down even after the ban on the social media—imposed by the government on them for not complying with a deadline set to register with Nepal's ministry of communication and information technology—was lifted, as the protestors are demanding an end to decades-long government corruption.

Ghising demanded that an interim government be formed, comprising people with a clean reputation, and said people belonging to the Generation Z should be part of such a government. He also called for immediate general elections.

It is to be noted that Ghising was sacked by the government in March from his post as the executive director before the end of his tenure over insubordination.

In a social media post, he said the interim government should incorporate Gen-Z representatives, as he called them the "future of the country." The protestors have been demanding that rapper-turned-Kathmandu Mayor Balendra Shah, popularly known as Balan, be made the prime minister.

Ghising demanded that the political leadership take moral responsibility for the death of 19 people and step down.

Further, Ghising said an independent high-level commission should investigate allegations of corruption at all levels.
