National Independent Party MP Dr. Tosima Karki said that the retirement age of MPs should be fixed. Stating that since the leaders are still in the position of parliamentarians at the age of 80, the law-making to the representation of the people is deteriorating, she said that the maximum age of parliamentarians should be set in the constitution and laws.

In the debate program on electoral system reform organized by the Parliamentary Affairs Journalists Association on Friday, MP Karki said that the retirement age should be kept in the law by taking into account the physical condition of the people.

'The constitution mentions the subject of MP qualification . It is said that a person who has completed 25 years of age can be a candidate for MP. However, it should not be written that how many years he can be a member of parliament ? How many times will a person be an MP, for how many years? She said, 'Our law does not provide for it, it seems that it should be written in the law itself.'

Likewise, MP Karki said that along with the debate on reforming the electoral system, the government system should also be discussed. 'Constitutional amendment is going on . Now, along with the debate on the reform of the electoral system, the debate on the reform of the government system should also be taken together,' she said. "Our party is also saying directly elected prime minister". The directly elected chief minister in the state is saying.'

MP Karki said that the educational qualification to become a parliamentarian should also be written in the law. "The educational qualifications of MPs should also be mentioned in the law." The educational qualification of a person who reaches the position of creating the method is an important issue,' she said.
