Ramhari Khatiwada, the chairman of the state system and good governance committee of the House of Representatives, has resigned.
Speaking at the meeting of the House of Representatives on Tuesday, he announced his resignation. The special committee set up to study and investigate the error in the report of the Federal Civil Service Bill claimed that he was not found guilty and said that he resigned by putting the question above the position .
He said that when the Federal Civil Service Bill was passed by the committee, the committee had to face the show of power of the personnel administration.
The special committee investigating the mess of the cooling off period held the chairman Khatiwada and the secretary of the committee Suraj Kumar Dura responsible . He said that he tried to prevent the bill from going wrong and the committee led by him went to the end to implement the cooling off period in the civil bill. He admitted that the error in the Civil Bill was not from him and the members of the State Arrangements Committee and that it was his weakness not to have done it.
'I want to write my name in history when there is a lack of integrity in politics . Let everyone pay attention to these things. When the Federal Civil Service Bill was passed, the State Order and Good Governance Committee had to suffer a lot," he said. I, the parliamentary committee and the House also had to bear their pressure. The members of the committee are in the parliament. They have also got into some kind of trouble.'
He claimed that he succeeded in passing important bills from the committee during his presidency.
The two-year 'cooling off period' provision passed unanimously by the committee in the Federal Civil Service Bill was made ineffective by cheating.
The committee passed the 'cooling off period' arrangement so that civil servants and government employees will not be able to take appointments in the Constitutional Commission, government, etc. However, during the writing of the report of the bill, the provisions that were passed unanimously by the committee were kept intact.
Chief Secretary Ek Narayan Aryal, General Secretary of Parliament Padma Prasad Pandey, government secretaries from Prime Minister KP Oli were openly trying to pressure the top political leadership to reverse the system of 'cooling off period'. After the bill passed by the committee was passed by the House of Representatives, it was revealed that there was a fraud in the system of 'cooling off period'. A parliamentary special committee was formed under the leadership of Congress Joint General Minister Jeevan Pariyar to find out who did the cheating. The said committee had written in the report of the Special Committee of Inquiry that political and moral responsibilities should be taken by President Khatiwada.
