PM Calls for making Upcoming House Session Effective

 Kathmandu, Jan. 30

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' has discussed with the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs (MoLJPA) about giving 'business' to the Parliament that will start its new session from February 5.

Prime Minister Prachanda called the officials of the MoLJPA to the Prime Minister's Office, Singha Durbar, and discussed the preparation of the bills to be presented in the upcoming session of the federal parliament.

During the discussion, the prime minister emphasised that the session should be made effective as there were reviews that the previous session of the parliament could not play an effective role in law-making.

Directing the Ministry, PM Prachanda said, there is a review that last year the parliament could not do an exemplary job in law-making. According to him, there is also an opinion that the government did not give 'business' to the parliament and should not happen again this time.

"Let's prepare to register more bills as soon as the parliamentary session starts. The chief secretary should follow up. The ministry should bring the bill in coordination with all the ministries and with good preparation. This time Parliament should be given business in an orderly manner," he said.

Speaking on the occasion, Chief Secretary, Dr. Baikunth Aryal, directed the MoLJPA to make necessary preparations for the bills, saying that bills that have undergone legal examination and financial liability should be sent to the parliament quickly.

Likewise, the Secretary of the Ministry, Udaya Raj Sapkota, said that the Ministry has done the necessary homework for the bills to be presented in the next session of the parliament and some of them would be presented at the beginning of the session.
