The PMO Nepal handle exists on Facebook and Twitter. Most people don't know that. And those who do, don't follow it because there's nothing worth following. Case in point: PMO Nepal's Twitter has been completely dead since March. No tweets. Nothing. I'm not joking , they might have literally forgotten the password. And then the sukumbasi crisis happened. Families being evicted, protests across Kathmandu, misinformation spreading like wildfire on Facebook and TikTok. People genuinely didn't know what the government's actual position was, what the policy said, what support was available, or what displaced families were supposed to do next. And it's not like the government never communicates. The spokesperson comes out, does a press briefing, says what's happening, for journalists, for TV. But that clip gets aired once, maybe gets a 100-word article on Onlinekhabar, and then it's gone. Buried under other dramas, celebrity news, and whatever controversy is trending that week. An official @ nepalgov post could have cut through all of that in minutes. Instead : silence. People had to piece together the story from journalists, activists and viral Facebook posts of questionable accuracy. This is what broken government communication actually costs people. Compare this to what functional government communication looks like: India: MyGov portal for citizen participation, PIB for verified press releases, @ PMOIndia posting actual policy updates regularly. USA: WhiteHouse.gov, @ POTUS, structured communication about every major decision. Nepal: A photo of a handshake. A national holiday greeting. A dead Twitter account. Silence. What I'm proposing is simple, a unified @ nepalgov handle across all major platforms (Facebook, Twitter/X, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube) that actually does the following: 1. Weekly cabinet decision summaries in plain language 2. Real-time updates during crises like evictions, disasters, emergencies : with actual information 3. Upcoming legislation explained before it passes, not after 4. Budget and policy breakdowns that normal people can understand 5. Bilingual : Nepali and English, so the diaspora isn't left out Why does this matter beyond convenience? - Misinformation spreads insanely fast on Nepali social media because there's no authoritative source to counter it : sukumbasi situation is the perfect example - The people sending remittances home has no official channel to follow what's happening in their own country - Young Nepalis are disengaged from governance partly because government doesn't exist on their platforms - Foreign investors and observers have no reliable window into government direction This is a governance problem dressed up as a tech problem. The solution is cheap. The will is what's missing. Where is the promised transparency ? Not even a small effort towards it. Anyone else feel strongly about this? And does anyone know of efforts already pushing for better government digital communication in Nepal?
