Kathmandu, Aug 1: Lawmakers have underscored the need to pass the bill relating to the operation of local levels, reasoning that the local levels began working merely on direction for lack of proper law.
They laid emphasis on the passage of the bill during a discussion in principle level that began after two and half months of the first round of local level elections.
During the meeting organized by the Development Committee of the Legislature-Parliament today, lawmakers also expressed views on the points of amendment.
Responding to the queries, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Federal Affairs and Local Development, Bijay Kumar Gachchhadar, said, “Government is ready to empower local levels. As the local levels could work contradictorily, a model provisional law was given as the base of running governance. It does not mean the government wants to shrink the power of people’s representatives at local levels.”
After the discussion in principle is over, a subcommittee was formed for the clause-wise discussion, said Committee Chairman Rabindra Adhikari, adding that the subcommittee consists of Ramchandra Poudel, Angtawa Sherpa, Ganesh Pahadi, Baijyanath Chaudhari, Dr Shivaji Raya Yadav, Kalpana Chaudhary and Tulasha Rana. The subcommittee is given five days to prepare and submit report by holding clause wise discussion.
The subcommittee meeting held today itself assigned lawmaker Pokhrel as the coordinator. It is beginning clause wise discussion from Tuesday.
