The Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies has recommended Dilli Raj Lamsal of Tanahun, Sangita Yadav of Siraha and Homanath Neupane of Kathmandu for the vacant Chief Executive Officer post at the state-owned Food Management and Trading Company Limited in Nepal. The ministry’s recommendation committee selected the three candidates who scored highest in its evaluation of their work plans and presentations. One of the recommended candidates will be appointed to lead the company.
Three candidates make the final recommendation
The recommendation brings the selection process to a shortlist of three for the company’s top executive position. Lamsal, Yadav and Neupane were chosen following an assessment of the plans and presentations submitted as part of the process, according to the published report.
The committee’s stated basis for its selection was the candidates’ performance in those evaluations. The three names are the highest-scoring candidates in the committee’s assessment, rather than a final appointment announcement. The CEO post remains vacant until one of them is selected for the position.
The candidates are identified by their places of origin: Lamsal is from Tanahun, Yadav from Siraha and Neupane from Kathmandu. The recommendation places all three in contention for the same post. No further details about their work plans, presentation scores or comparative rankings were provided in the available information.
Appointment decision remains pending
The ministry has recommended the candidates, but the information released does not identify which of the three will receive the appointment or when the decision will be made. The next step is the selection of one candidate from the recommended names. Until that appointment is made, the CEO position at Food Management and Trading Company Limited remains vacant.
The distinction between recommendation and appointment is important: the committee has completed its evaluation and submitted three names, while the final choice is still to be made. The recommendation does not indicate that the candidates have been ranked publicly or that any one of them has already been selected.
The ministry formed the committee to recommend a candidate for the vacant CEO position. Its assessment of work plans and presentations produced the three-name list. The available report does not specify the committee’s membership, the criteria or weighting used in scoring, or the timetable for the final appointment.
The outcome will determine which of the three recommended candidates takes charge of the state-owned company as its chief executive. For now, Lamsal, Yadav and Neupane are the candidates forwarded by the ministry’s committee, and the appointment decision remains outstanding.
