Poor bhutan , has no bhutanese CEO after evicting all lotshampas. Keep hiring from abroad.god bless them
It is like an American Citi Bank hiring an India CEO. Businesses can hire anyone who can bring most profit for the company. So there is no logic behind your out cry. And, one thing is certain: a foreigner would be more loyal than Lhotsampas who embezzled government money and ran away -like Bhim Subba and RB Basnet who were than a CEO of government owned corporations.
It’s only a dream for the general public to fly.No one can afford $250 for one way to Bumthang except Royal family.Yap,it’s just an entertainment for Ngalongs (Royal family). Enjoy the flight..!!!!!!!!!!

Champion CEO may makes difference.
Going back to embezzlement of government money.How those executives officers back in 90s have carried load of cash out of the their department? There was no banking system Bhutan in those days?
If so why the government of Bhutan wait for another corruption.
They should be taken to the international court of justice in The Hague. Tell your government don’t wait. of course one deceased bad luck.
Bhutan is making some progresses.Its a good news.It can benefit some Bhutanese creating some jobs.
