Finance Minister Appoints Own Institution’s Employee as Director of Rastriya Banijya Bank

Finance Minister Dr. Swarnim Wagle has appointed Aastha Bhatt, an employee of the institution where he serves as honorary chairperson, as a member of the Board of Directors of Rastriya Banijya Bank. Alongside Bhatt, he also appointed Dr. Suman Dahal, Humbahadur Ale, Ghuran Thakur, Gangaprasad Gyawali, and Laxman Gyawali as directors. Senior government officials have raised concerns, noting that appointing employees from his own institution to the board of a government bank creates a conflict of interest. (30 Ashar, Kathmandu)

Minister Wagle left Rastriya Banijya Bank without a board of directors for two months before appointing six new directors. Among them, Aastha Bhatt is an employee of the Integrated Institute for Development Studies (IIDS). Bhatt holds a postgraduate degree in economics and has been working at IIDS since 2022. Prior to becoming minister, Dr. Wagle was the chairperson of IIDS and resigned from that position.

Minister Wagle stated that these appointments are based on meritocracy and announced plans to introduce legislation to prevent conflicts of interest. However, a senior government official expressed that appointing employees from his own organization to the Rastriya Banijya Bank’s board could still lead to conflicts of interest.

80-Year-Old Maheshwarbhakta Shrestha Appointed Executive Chairman of Nepal Airlines Corporation Against Regulations

The government has appointed 80-year-old Maheshwarbhakta Shrestha as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nepal Airlines Corporation. Although regulations stipulate that the executive chief’s age should not exceed 65 years, the government has assigned this responsibility to Shrestha contrary to these rules. Previously, the Supreme Court had annulled the appointments of Shrestha and other directors, but the cabinet has now reappointed him to the executive position.

On 30th Ashad, Kathmandu — The government has appointed Maheshwarbhakta Shrestha, approximately 80 years old, as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nepal Airlines Corporation in violation of regulations. In 2049 BS (1992/93), during a sweeping staff reduction under the ‘Cudacarkat Cleaning Campaign,’ Shrestha, then a corporate director, lost his job at the corporation. After 34 years since his retirement from Nepal Airlines, the current government has entrusted him with the corporation’s leadership at the age of eight decades.

According to government spokesperson and Minister of Education Sashmit Pokhrel, Shrestha was assigned the executive role upon the recommendation of the Ministry of Tourism. However, his appointment as Executive Chairman and CEO runs contrary to government procedural rules. The Ministry of Tourism’s ‘Standards for Appointment and Nomination of Members and Officers of Public Bodies, 2073 BS’ requires that the appointed executive chief must have completed at least 30 years of age and not have exceeded 65 years.

Since the Nepal Airlines Corporation Act does not specify any age criteria for the executive chief, a legal expert mentioned that the government should adhere to the procedural guidelines. Despite this, Shrestha was assigned the executive director role contrary to these regulations. Earlier, the Supreme Court had quashed the appointment of five directors, including Shrestha. The Ministry of Tourism noted that on 31st Baisakh, five director committee members were appointed at the corporation, but the appointments were nullified by the Supreme Court. Among those was Shrestha. A writ petition was filed to the Supreme Court challenging the government’s unilateral appointments without following the selection committee’s recommendations.

Upendra Bahadur Karki, the first petitioner on the list, had his writ heard by the Supreme Court, which subsequently annulled the appointments. Nevertheless, the government recently appointed five directors from the eligibility list, and among them, Shrestha was given responsibility as Executive Chairman and CEO, according to Jaynarayan Acharya, spokesperson of the Ministry of Tourism.

“The Nepal Airlines Corporation Act does not clearly specify age criteria concerning the appointment of directors and executives. Accordingly, they were appointed as directors. Since the CEO position in the corporation is vacant, the Cabinet decided to assign the responsibility of Executive Chairman and CEO to one of the directors,” stated spokesperson Acharya.

Who is Maheshwarbhakta Shrestha?
Shrestha has over five decades of experience in the country’s civil aviation sector. Having served for more than two decades at Nepal Airlines, he was removed by the government in 2049 BS while holding the position of 10th grade corporate director. Currently, only employees appointed after his retirement are serving at the corporation because employees retire after 30 years of service or upon reaching 58 years of age. Shrestha retired 34 years ago and has since been active as a consultant.

In 2000, Shrestha authored a book titled ‘Nepalese Aviation and Tourism.’ Until recently, he served as a consultant for capacity development programs at the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal. He had been preparing proposals for Nepal Airlines to purchase large aircraft (Boeing) for international flights. His involvement in the Boeing purchase plan dates back at least four and a half decades.

La Liga’s Top Stars Clash in World Cup 2026 Semifinal Showdown

Lamine Yamal has already defeated Kylian Mbappé in five knockout stage matches at both national team and club levels.

News Summary

Reviewed and prepared.

  • The FIFA World Cup 2026 semifinal between France and Spain will take place on Thursday morning.
  • The match features a key duel between rising star Lamine Yamal and experienced veteran Kylian Mbappé.
  • In the last five knockout matches, Mbappé has been unable to secure a win over Yamal, who has achieved consecutive victories.

Kathmandu – On one side stands the emerging young star Lamine Yamal, and on the other, Kylian Mbappé, an established player and the favorite to become one of the greatest footballers. Imagining the two playing on the same team sparks much excitement.

However, when these two leading stars compete on different teams, it promises a competitive and thrilling match.

Playing for Barcelona (Yamal) and Real Madrid (Mbappé) respectively in Spain’s La Liga, these two masters will face off in the FIFA World Cup 2026 semifinal on Wednesday morning.

Mbappé, a World Cup winner, will captain France, while Yamal is an integral member of the Spanish squad.

Mbappé won his first World Cup title in 2018 and scored eight goals en route to winning the Golden Boot at the 2022 World Cup, where France reached the final.

This time, France is a strong favorite to win the title, with Mbappé ranking among the top scorers, having netted eight goals and contributed three assists. His outstanding performance places him as a frontrunner for the Golden Boot again.

Yamal is participating in his first World Cup and has scored one goal so far. However, as a central figure in Spain’s lineup, he poses a significant challenge to defenders.

The duel between these two players will be watched worldwide by football fans with great enthusiasm during the World Cup semifinal.

Mbappé is well-known for his speed and clinical finishing. Over six matches in the 2026 World Cup, he has already scored eight goals, positioning himself firmly as a Golden Boot contender.

Yamal, only 19 years old, combines tactical balance with the ability to provide key passes and score goals.

Beyond these two star athletes, Spain and France both have abundant talent, but all eyes will likely be on this marquee matchup.

Mbappé Yet to Secure Win Over Yamal

Mbappé has set various records from national team to World Cup level. He is second only to Lionel Messi of Argentina in World Cup goals scored (20) and has already won a World Cup.

Yet, he trails behind Yamal in knockout stage matchups; in five consecutive European national and club knockout games, Yamal has consistently triumphed, while Mbappé has yet to claim a victory against him.

This World Cup semifinal between Mbappé and Yamal promises to be captivating. France’s attacking style versus Spain’s possession-based approach centered on Yamal should make for a highly competitive game.

Spain defeated France in the 2024 Euro Cup semifinal to reach the final, eventually winning the tournament. Similarly, Spain bested France again in the 2025 Nations League semifinal.

At club level, Barcelona (Yamal) prevailed over Real Madrid (Mbappé) in multiple finals across competitions in the 2025–2026 season.

With Yamal having beaten Mbappé in five straight matches, the key question is whether Yamal can extend his streak to six or if Mbappé will avenge those losses and lead France to a third World Cup final.

Will Mbappé Succeed on His Sixth Attempt?

Currently, Mbappé remains a global football star. Last season, he scored 42 goals in 44 appearances for Real Madrid, finishing as top scorer in both La Liga and the Champions League.

The 2022 World Cup Golden Boot winner is again among the top scorers this time. Facing competition from Argentine captain Lionel Messi, Mbappé looks poised to break through knockout-stage barriers where he has struggled before. The support from teammates like Ousmane Dembélé, Michael Olise, Bradley Barcola, and Adrien Rabiot strengthens his campaign.

Mbappé has also surpassed records for France’s all-time leading scorer, with 64 goals in 104 matches.

Meanwhile, the young forward Yamal is also rising as a star and is on his way toward international success. He has already won the Euro Cup and is gaining opportunities with Barcelona.

Barcelona’s former coach Xavi has noted Yamal’s potential but advised tempered expectations given his young age.
