Nepal’s new Prime Minister, Sushila Karki, has said that she would serve only six months in office, vowing to follow the demands of the protesters and end corruption.
This is as she began work as interim prime minister, after “Gen Z” youth demonstrations removed her predecessor.
The 73-year-old former chief justice, has been tasked with restoring order and addressing protesters’ demands for a corruption-free future ahead of elections in six months.
DAILY POST reports that the protests started on Monday triggered by a ban on social media.
This quickly escalated with parliament and key government buildings set ablaze, as they fed into long-standing economic woes in Nepal.
“We have to work according to the thinking of the Gen Z generation.
“What this group is demanding is end of corruption, good governance and economic equality. You and I have to be determined to fulfil that,” she said.
