The meeting of the Wagmati State Assembly is becoming uncertain. The winter session of the state assembly has become uncertain because the government could not provide enough business to the House. Although this session is portrayed as a law-making session, due to the delay in making the necessary laws in the province, it has not been decided when the meeting of the provincial assembly, which was postponed from October 16, will be held.
Although there is a constitutional provision that the next session should be convened within 6 months after the end of one session, the government has a convenient majority, so it seems that the law-making should be speedily advanced.
It has been almost five months since the government of Bagmati Province was formed under the leadership of Congress leader Bahadur Singh Lama. The government formed under the leadership of Lama after the Congress-UML alliance, which has about two-thirds of the MPs, is progressing slowly in the development and law-making work.
its direct effect is falling on law making. The province has created 63 basic laws since its inception. At the time of the establishment of the provincial government, around 99 laws were identified to fully operate the province. About 30 laws are still to be made in the province.
So far, 80 laws, 14 ordinances, 41 regulations, 3 regulations, 9 guidelines, 66 procedures, 12 standards, 14 orders have been created in Wagmati. 239 of them have been published in the state gazette.
Provincial government spokesperson and Minister of Internal Affairs and Law Surajchandra Lamichhane has said that the Provincial Assembly meeting has not been finalized yet. The Chief Minister is discussing the issue of the meeting with the opposition party. It has not been decided yet,' he said. He claimed that the law making process is progressing to give enough business to the House. As the main opposition party Maoist Center insisted on the implementation of the budget, the old agreement should be followed, so the government seems to be in favor of not conducting the House immediately. Minister Lamichhane said, "The house will sit after the differences with the opposition parties are over."
He said that due to the federal government, there are problems in making some laws. "We have created almost all the single rights list laws. Now the help of the central government is needed to create a law on the list of common rights. Minister Lamichhane said that initiatives are being taken for that.
Chief Minister Lama increased the number of ministries to 14 to resolve the dispute within Nepali Congress within his party, but the added ministries are having problems to work due to lack of laws. Although the ministry has been split up, the ministers have also said that they are having problems working because the law is still in the old ministry.
Lama, who was appointed as the Chief Minister on July 8, has spent his time in completing the cabinet, filling the lack of staff and making political appointments. The provincial government, which is very weak in budget expenditure, is not even able to make the parliamentary committee operational.
Minister Lamichhane claims that the government is moving forward by implementing the budget along with the law making. The budget was brought by the previous government. We have to implement it. Due to which we have not been able to work according to our plan,' Minister Lamichhane said that reconstruction of the damage caused by natural disasters is the priority of the current government.
The main opposition party in the House, the Maoist Center, has requested to convene the House immediately, saying that the government is moving forward slowly and is unable to work for the disaster victims. He said that the government is weak in all areas and suggested to work in such a way that the people feel it immediately. Former chief minister and Maoist center leader Shalikram Jamkattel has demanded the government to call the House immediately. He said that the government should not fail in making laws and implementing the budget.
