Nepal’s interim government has taken a bold step toward reform. PM Sushila Karki expanded her cabinet, appointing three figures with strong reformist credentials. Kulman Ghising, the man who brought light to Nepal by ending load-shedding, becomes Energy Minister. Om Prakash Aryal, a fearless lawyer, will handle Law and Home Affairs, while former Finance Secretary Rameshwor Khanal takes charge of Finance. The expansion comes amid political turmoil, with Karki racing against time to deliver elections by March 5. For many in Kathmandu, these appointments symbolize a chance for integrity and stability after weeks of protests and unrest. But can these reformists deliver real change, or will old politics derail the promise of a new beginning?
