Federal Parliament Secretary General Padma Prasad Pandey has claimed that he has not challenged the decision of the parliamentary committee. After putting pressure on Speaker Devraj Ghimire and National Assembly Speaker Narayan Dahal under the leadership of the Chief Secretary to remove the 'cooling off period' provision in the civil service bill, General Secretary Pandey expressed that the decision of the State Administration Committee was unconstitutional.
The State Affairs Committee had passed the Civil Bill with the provision of 'cooling off period' on May 2 . On May 8, General Secretary Pandey said, 'This is not according to the constitution. Keeping a cooling period is not a constitutional issue.'
The State Administration Committee had arranged a 'cooling off period' for employees who resigned or went on compulsory retirement from civil service and other government services and would not receive constitutional, government or diplomatic appointments for 2 years . The chief secretary and secretaries were against the arrangement. They were also supported by the General Secretary of Parliament Pandey.
'The special committee constituted to study and investigate the error in the report of the Federal Civil Service Bill' has submitted its report to the Speaker on Tuesday . The statement of Secretary General Pandey is also mentioned in the report. "I have not obstructed anything passed by the committee." I did not 'challenge' the decision of the committee . I have not threatened anyone and I have not even said that I am resigning," said Pandey in his statement to the special committee.
Pandey has also made a statement that he will take the official responsibility of the General Secretary of the Parliament for the shortcomings in the bill. "As I am the administrative head of the Federal Parliament, I have to take moral responsibility," he said.
Pandey said that the error regarding 'cooling off period' can be corrected in the National Assembly, and he is also of the opinion that there should be a discussion in this regard. He said, 'This is not the final law . I think there should be a discussion even after the law is made.'
Pandey said that the error in the
report was originally signed by two people and everyone was to blame. It looks like two people. It seems we are all guilty of this . This is a human error, not a deliberate error,' he said.
Pandey has also said that after the chief secretary and secretaries requested to meet the Speaker, the time was arranged. After the secretary and chief secretary requested to meet the Speaker, the time was arranged. They said their things to the speaker and after that they took time to meet the chairman and asked me to go too, so I went too. Everyone should read the report and what the employee said should be looked at whether or not he actually took it down.'
