Chandra Prasad Dhakal, President of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, has said that they need an environment where they can work safely within the boundaries of the country's laws.
At the all-party national dialogue on ‘Cooperation for Peace, Stability and Prosperity’ organized by the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry in Kathmandu today, Chairman Dhakal urged the government of Nepal (Council of Ministers) to pass and implement the private sector protection and promotion strategy as an area of importance.
‘It is the need of the day to formulate and implement this strategy,’ he said, ‘It is our desire that the commitment of the government, political parties, private sector and Gen-G group be clearly defined and made today as the first and primary task for creating that environment.’
He urged that it is necessary to create an environment where entrepreneurs, businessmen who contribute to revenue collection and wealth creation, are able to do business freely and their natural rights related to property rights are respected, while keeping the morale of the country’s employers, service providers, infrastructure builders, and entrepreneurs who contribute to revenue collection and wealth creation high, are allowed to do business freely and to increase investment.
He said that under the strategy, entrepreneurs should be provided with protection as a prohibited area, ensuring that they are provided with prompt service and security, and that attacks such as bandhs, strikes, vandalism, arson, etc.
‘The government should prepare a separate hotline and rapid security force to ensure the security of industries, factories, establishments, private residences, etc., and provide services,’ he said. ‘Those involved in looting and arson in private property and public service establishments in the executive, legislature, judiciary, and private sectors through wrongful infiltration during the protests on Bhadra 23 and 24 should be brought to justice.’
He urged that the Youth Entrepreneurship Development Plan, including easy business registration, liquidation, concessional loans, and necessary facilities for ensuring markets, be implemented as a key part of the private sector protection and promotion strategy. He said that this would help increase entrepreneurship in the country and show the potential of the youth in the country.
‘Political parties that have ruled the country for more than three decades also need to review the issues raised by the young generation in order to maintain good governance and control corruption and be serious about it,’ he said. ‘We must work with commitment for democracy, market economy, peace, stability and prosperity, and recognize the industrial and business sector as a sector of primary importance and ensure that businesses can operate freely.’
