KATHMANDU, April 18: The ruling parties, CPN-UML and Nepali Congress, have planned to approve the Federal Civil Service Bill in the parliamentary committee within three days. To achieve this, both parties have worked to convince the main opposition party CPN (Maoist Center).
“UML had a different perspective on the Constitutional Council Bill. However, we agreed to move forward with it,” said UML MP Raghuji Panta. “We did not submit a written dissent on this matter. I want to remind the opposition parties of this.”
UML MP Panta urged the Maoist Center and other opposition parties not to submit a written dissent on the matter if they have any.
Bill bars local units from recruiting civil servants
NC lawmaker Dilendra Prasad Badu also advised that in some cases, things might not turn out as expected. "On certain issues, it may not align with an individual’s understanding. Let’s create an environment where everyone can reach an agreement," Badu said.
He urged that the bill should not be delayed further as the civil servants have started protests demanding swift enactment of the bill.
“Many issues have already been clarified. Let's have a round of discussion and avoid stretching it beyond two or three days,” he said.
The State Affairs Committee is currently discussing the bill. MP Badu stressed that the bill should not be prolonged under the guise of seeking agreement.
