Appointment of Auditor General

महालेखापरीक्षक नियुक्ति
Original Text

The President appoints the Auditor General on recommendation of the Constitutional Council. The AG must have at least 20 years experience in accounting, auditing, or financial management. Term: 6 years, non-renewable.

💡 Plain Language Explanation

The Auditor General is Nepal\'s chief financial watchdog — they audit EVERY rupee the government spends. Appointed by the Constitutional Council for a single 6-year term (no reappointment, to prevent currying favor). They need 20+ years of audit/finance experience. The AG answers to no minister — they report directly to the President, who tables the report in Parliament.

🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या

महालेखापरीक्षक — सरकारी खर्चको लेखापरीक्षण गर्ने। संवैधानिक परिषद्को सिफारिसमा नियुक्त। ६ वर्ष, गैर-नवीकरणीय।

✅ Strengths

Single non-renewable term prevents the AG from becoming subservient to the appointing government.

⚠️ Concerns

Constitutional Council appointment means political influence in selecting the watchdog.
