Appointment of Attorney General

The President appoints the Attorney General on recommendation of the Prime Minister. The AG must have qualifications equivalent to a Supreme Court judge — 15+ years as Senior Advocate or equivalent legal experience.

This ensures Nepal\'s top government lawyer is genuinely experienced, not just politically connected. But since the PM chooses, independence is always questioned.
