E-government, considered a panacea in favour of eliminating allhorrible attached to the governments of developing countries, could only result in a disaster, if furthered in an unplanned and unsystematic manner. E-government, ICT driven efforts towards delivering transparent, efficient, and effective services to the citizens could only end in a neverending downward spiral. This unwanted effect is generally not due to lack of financial endorsement, political commitment, or technical expertise. Instead, the culprit of disappointment is usually inability of middle management at the ICT promotion agency of His Majesty's Government of Nepal. Non-existence of e-government master plan and a roadmap in developing countries function as a major hurdle when it comes to ICT driven government reform.
