'Govt agencies turn deaf ears to the House directions'



Kathmandu, Sept. 24: Lawmakers have complained that the development works have been affected as the respective government agencies did not comply with the direction of the various house panels of the Legislature-Parliament. 

They said that the ministers and secretaries did not want to attend the meetings of the committees under the Parliament, and update the lawmakers about the development projects. 

Speaking at an interaction organised by the Communication Centre Nepal in the capital, Pashupati Chaulagain, member  of Public Accounts Committee (PAC), said, “The government has flagged the Gautam Buddha International Airport at Bhairahawa as the national priority project, but the minister and secretary did not appear at the PAC meeting.”

Another member of the PAC Ram Hari Khatiwada said that the airport could be constructed in time only if the government extended its due cooperation. 

Chairman of the Development Committee Rabindra Adhikari stated that it seems that the government did not want to build the projects.
