A Case Narrated

Senior Citizen Priority in the Transport Management Department

Procedural oversight mars its laudable commitment

When I was studying in the US, Michigan State University, in 1965, I went to live in a

small community, Howell, situated between East Lansing and Detroit in Michigan,

for a couple of months for research for my thesis work in anthropology. The local

mayor had found an old retired couple's home for my stay. My landlord was a nice

old man of 84 and drove a Plymouth, an inexpensive Ford. He had told me then that

he had to be careful about driving, because, given his age, one small mistake and the

police would strip him of his driving license. Since I myself was already driving in

Nepal then--I was a Panchayat Development Officer in Pokhara in 1963 and had two

jeeps, one American and one Indian--I looked forward to driving for many more

years to come. And as I grew older, somehow, the "84 years" seemed to be a

possible benchmark for me too, Now that I am 82, that target year of 84 has simply

been approaching far too fast. But my own car, a 1988 Toyota Starlet that I had

bought from a local embassy in 1993 with reduced duty privilege, is just approaching

100,000 kms mark of running, which means that it is still a "young" car although it

did require a few change of parts, the motorcar's version of "organ transplants",

occasionally, But when the government regularly talked about retiring 20-years old

car, my vehicle too seemed like a possible candidate and that has lately been making

me ambivalent about renewing its bluebook and pay increasingly hefty taxes in the

process...

New perspective on driving years

But then, I was recently visited by a Canadian friend of mine, Prof. Peter Apedaile, a

retired professor of economics at University of Alberta, then one of the most

conscientious and professionally inspired expatriate advisors of mine while in the

government. While he is currently running 78 himself, one of the things that

naturally came up during our overdue exchange of notes was how long you could

possibly expect to drive. He then told me that he knew of somebody back home who

drove till he was 97.

Bihari Krishna Shrestha

Ph.: +977-01-4485827 Email: [email protected] Website: www.ageingnepal.org Page | 12

That suddenly changed my own perspective too on driving. While my friends

marveled at my continuing to drive with an unstated suggest ion of discouragement,

I continue to find it easier to drive than to walk, or take a public transport or go

through the hassle of finding and negotiating a price with a taxi. And, getting back

home on either remains a worse hassle yet. Given my regular morning walks

followed by my hours of tending my garden, my undiminished appetite for food and

drink, the latter restrained by the superior judgment of my better half, her

legitimacy for keeping my love for drink under leash so much more enhanced due to

her being a medical doctor, I have managed to keep a good health so much so that I

keep working --that is, reading, writing, speaking and occasional "cursing" in spoken

and written forms--until late hours at night. So, given these propitious conditions

and the new vista of possibility for driving beyond even 84, I decided to get my car,

heretofore, a victim of my benign neglect, spruced up with some additional

investment including a few "organ transplants". It was also the last dates for the

payment of my taxes on the car on which I have lately been wavering due to the fact

that it is rather hefty but which get heftier with generous fines added to it once I

cross the deadline of 13th April.

Institutionalized arrangement for Senior Citizen "Priority"

It was April 12, one day before the last date for the payment of the government

taxes and it was rather too late to try to get a dalal do it for me. Besides, two years

earlier, I had this nice experience in the Yatayat Byabastha Bibhag (Transport

Management Department) clearing my taxes without any hassle with the priority

they then accorded to elderly people. While there was long queue of people on the

same mission, I was out of the department in less than an hour. So, this time, if

anything, things must have only improved. Secondly, going there with a business

gives you an opportunity for what we anthropologists call "participant observation"

under which you become a part of the process yourself even as you, as an observer

external to the system, try to internalize the goings-on in the organization and its

professional meaning for a student of social science. So, as an anthropologist and as

former government official, going through the process of paying your own taxes in

the department was a professionally very valuable opportunity for me to see in what

ways the Department has changed over the last two years.

Assuming that, compared to two years ago, it would certainly take even less time to

get my bluebook renewed, I showed up in the department around 2:30 PM on 12th

Ph.: +977-01-4485827 Email: [email protected] Website: www.ageingnepal.org Page | 13

April that leaves enough time for me for the first act, to make deposit of the tax

money in the local bank that normally closes only at 3 PM. But when I got there, the

office was already in disarray for the day. For one thing, the system had already

changed. The bank was no longer there and you no longer begin by depositing the

tax money. There was a new depot too called Help Desk. When I approached it, one

man lazily told me that it was too late, because the window where you get a "token"

for you to get your process started was already closed. My visible status of being a

"senior citizen" attracted no special attention or polite gesture. So, without further

ado, I returned for the day.

The next day, 13th of April the last day of the Nepali year, I showed up at the office at

11 AM and again approached the same Help Desk. This time, however, a young

official in early 20s appeared instantly, and after politely asking my age, filled out a

small strip of printed form called Priority Card as reproduced below and assured me

that I should present it directly to Counter 4 in the premises and everything would

be taken care of for me without any hassle.

This desk alone was a big improvement from my last visit two years ago and the

"Priority Card" arrangement itself was an eloquent statement of the Department for

hassle-free service delivery to the elderly in the society. I was absolutely elated

when I was extended this novel benefit. After renewing my third-party insurance

with one of the many insurance agents just outside the Department premises, I

approached the window that was Counter 4. And sure enough, upon the

presentation of the card, the long queue that was there easily made way for me to

directly get to the window, and to the lady official in attendance. I made the first

part of my payment, Rs. 200, for the renewal of the bluebook, and I was directed to

go to the next window, apparently a bank, some two meters away, to pay my annual

tax that amounted to nearly Rs. 39,000 even as they moved the papers from inside

Ph.: +977-01-4485827 Email: [email protected] Website: www.ageingnepal.org Page | 14

the building towards that window. It was with a great sense of ease that I walked

over to the other window.

Procedural incongruity defeating Senior Citizen "Priority"

However, once at the new window, my turn did not come until after more than an

hour and half of waiting. A bank teller was receiving money according to the figures

mentioned in the papers that were passed on to him from the previous window,

probably in the form of a queue too. Compared to the situation two years ago when

people kept standing in a queue for hours on end, this time around, there were steel

benches to sit on while waiting for the license number of one's vehicle to be called

out, signifying your turn to make the payment. But despite this arrangement, there

were always people thronging the window, and one of them volunteered to call out

the numbers more loudly. I myself was seated in a bench close to the window

amidst a crowd of people whose average age seemed to be less than half of mine.

Apparently, my papers too had joined the long queue inside the building slowly

making its way to the bank window, and the fact that my papers had the small piece

of paper called the Priority Card thrust inside my blue book just simply failed to

attract anyone's attention, While my own impatience was growing with the passage

of time, the people around me too were feeling uncomfortable with me sitting there

for over an hour already. Occasionally, I would also find that the people, whom I had

superseded in the earlier window, would have their vehicle numbers called out and

would make their payments. Forget about the "Priority"; it seemed I was not even

getting my due turn. At one point, I showed up at the window to plead with the

teller saying that I had been waiting there for more than an hour. But working

nonstop himself and counting the payments, he rather rudely told me that he could

not care less about my having to "two hours or two and half hours". After all, he too

had been working non-stop. It was clear that with that kind of crowd, there was

need for more tellers like in a regular bank. Clearly, it was a preventable bottleneck

that the Department managers visibly overlooked.

Another few minutes, and my number too was called out to my relief and, visibly

also to that of others around me. While I finally managed to make my payment, that,

however, was not the end of my chore. I still had to go to another fenced enclosure

some six meters away where, apparently after further work on the papers in the

"assembly line", they are pushed out, three or four at a time, through a small

opening, about 1.5 feet in height and a foot in width with iron grills in between.

Ph.: +977-01-4485827 Email: [email protected] Website: www.ageingnepal.org Page | 15

There, another official received them and affixed official stamps on the relevant

pages of the papers before they were passed on to the hands that were already

stretched out to him from outside through in between the steel poles. Unable and

unwilling to push myself into that crowd clinging to those steel poles, I managed to

find a spot at a less crowded distance around the railings, but still close enough to

see if the small stacks of blue books coming out of that whole included mine. I spent

at least another 40 minutes there before I was able to receive my papers too. It was

2 PM then that meant I had spent nearly three hours there, a vastly different and

worse experience from the one two years ago.

Conclusion and two recommendations

As things turned out, the "Priority Card" was useful only for a small fraction of my

chore that day. I probably saved some one hour or so by being allowed to supersede

the queue at the initial Counter 4. It was clear that most of the people there were

dalals, many carrying several bluebooks to be renewed. But that was not what

severely compromised or even negated the purported "Priority" for senior citizens.

As mentioned above, while the so-called "Priority Card" travelled with the rest of my

papers stuck in my bluebook in the assembly line inside the building, the operating

procedure was clearly not structured to assign the intended priority for the

bluebooks that included them. .Two years ago, that "assembly line" was not there,

All the customers moved from one window to the next and queued up in them, their

hands clutching those papers. That was why I was able to supersede those queues

and directly deal with the concerned officials at the respective windows. But this

year, the papers remained in a queue inside the building while no official inside took

notice of the fact that my bluebook also included a Priority Card. My conclusion

from this experience has been that while the Transport Management Department in

all earnestness had formally committed that senior citizens must be accorded

priority in the delivery of its services, they have failed to reflect that commitment in

their management procedures accordingly. As a result, the Department, despite its

evidently honest decision to render hassle-free service to elderly people, has in

practice failed to deliver on that promise. It is rather strange that no one in the

Department apparently gave any thought to that fact that mere statement of

Priority does not deliver priority in practiced. It necessarily requires commensurate

reforms in their working procedures too in order to be able to deliver priority service

in reality.

Ph.: +977-01-4485827 Email: [email protected] Website: www.ageingnepal.org Page | 16

Two recommendations are in order. Firstly, assuming that the Department does

indeed mean to render priority service to the elderly people visiting it, they have to

change the shape and colour of the Priority Card so that it does attract the attention

of all officials handling documents accompanied by such Priority Cards. Therefore, it

is recommended that the card should be made much bigger in size, maybe 8 inches

by 4 inches, and given red colour to it so all officials notice the paper from a

distance. In the meantime, the Department should also sensitize all its officials that

the papers that include such Red Priority Cards must be automatically given priority.

This, I think, will go a long way in translating the Department's stated commitment

about priority for elderly people into actual practice.

Secondly, working with the concerned bank, the Department must increase the

number of tellers receiving the tax payments when there is a big rush of taxpayers

like on that last day of Nepali year (April 13, 2018).
