capital observed with great concern that doubts have arisen in the
mind of citizens about observance of the constitutional steps and
transparency in the process of appointment of the chief adviser.
In the present circumstances it is extremely important that the

functions in the most transparent manner to evoke confidence in
public mind, the meeting observed.

caretaker government will take steps as soon as possible to
implement the recommendations of the Nagorik Committee 2006 made
public earlier regarding reconstitution of the Election Commission
and correcting the electoral roll," said the committee.
The Nagorik Committee will continue to strengthen public support for
the recommendations formulated on the basis of regional dialogues
over the past few months.
