Prime Minister Balendra Shah on Thursday removed a minister for using his position to benefit his wife, just 15 days after taking office. Minister for Labour, Employment and Social Security Dip Kumar Sah was relieved of his duties following a recommendation from the ruling Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), according to the Prime Minister's secretariat. “The central disciplinary commission of the RSP on Wednesday had submitted its recommendation to remove Sah from the post,” Prime Minister's press advisor Deepa Dahal told media persons. Lamichhane also recommended that Minister for Health and Population Nisha Mehta be cautioned for not handling the re-appointment issue seriously. Acting on that recommendation, the prime minister issued a warning to Mehta, Dahal said.
