KATHMANDU, April 5 - Maoist spokesperson and Minister for Information and Communication Technology Krishna Bahadur Mahara Thursday said that a new Code of Conduct for the Maoist ministers is being prepared.

The Maoist Central Secretariat will soon make public the Code of Conduct, which will contain work performance of the ministers and also "financial discipline".

Meanwhile, Mahara said that he plans to change the total outlook rather than just individual perspective in government media.

He also said that he would prioritise issues of national importance.

Furthermore, he also said that Maoist ministers would embrace pro-public transformation, trying to end anti-people traditions.
