KATHMANDU, Feb 7: CPN-UML Chief Whip Padam Giri has stressed that the government should present itself in an accountable manner to make parliamentary business effective.
In a meeting of the House of Representatives today, UML Chief Whip Giri advised the government to be more responsible regarding the effective operation of the parliament, establishment of good governance and delivery of its services.
"The last session of the parliament could come up with just one act and the delay in selecting leadership of parliamentary committees hampered the functioning of the House," he said, welcoming the schedule presented by the Speaker for the current session. He sought the facilitation of the government to implement the parliament schedule successfully.
He said the UML as the major opposition would raise the issues of citizens' concerns for development with priority. He also urged the government to respond to a memorandum submitted by party Chair KP Sharma Oli to Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal by incorporating citizen's aspirations and needs that the party realized during its Jhulaghat-Chiwa Bhanjyang resolution journey.
UML Chief Whip also insisted on the need for effective implementations of the Prime Minister Employment and Social Security programmes. On the occasion, he also asked the government to swiftly work towards rescuing those Nepalis joining the Russian Army and Bipin Joshi reportedly taken under control by the Hamas in Israel.
He demanded the government's intervention in frequent rises in the bank interests and the misappropriation in cooperatives to provide justice to the affected. He also insisted on the implementation of the investigation report over the Ncell share sale and purchase issue.
