via How Nepal got the electricity flowing – CSMonitor.com  explains how those at the head of the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) exaggerated a power crisis which lined the pockets of a chosen few while holding back progress in Nepal and creating unnecessary hardship for its citizens.  The hero in this story is none other than Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, otherwise known as Prachanda, former guerrilla leader in the Maoist insurgency.  Shortly after taking office, he appointed Kul Man Ghising as the NEA’s managing director, who says he is “managing demand and supply with maximum efficiency and complete honesty”.  How refreshing!
