Kathmandu, 4 September: The present government, which has already converted into a caretaker one, has decided to extend the tenure of the present MPs by amending the existing law from parliament.
Minister for Laws, Gobinda Prasad Sharma has registered a bill for parliament’s ratification proposing the tenure of the present parliament until the first sitting of the next federal parliament.
This is a plan for exploiting the government coffer as much as possible, blame constitutional experts.
They believe that along with the announcement of the election of the federal parliament the tenure of the present parliament has been ended. Violating the existing norms of the parliamentarian democracy, the government is running Parliament by giving business and ratifying important bills, including the controversial citizenship amendment bill. This is an extreme abuse of the executive power by the government, say constitutional experts.
The idea of keeping alive the parliament until the first meeting of the next parliament is just to exploit the government fund, they say.
The government is spending 340 million rupees per month for salary, allowances and other facilities for the MPs.
