Minister for Women, Children and Senior Citizens Navalkishore Shah Sudy has proposed that social security allowance should be provided only to those who are below the poverty line. Minister Sudi made such a proposal in the Public Policy and Delegated Legislation Committee meeting held on Wednesday.
Minister Sudi says that Nepal's economic situation cannot support social security allowances in the way they are currently being distributed. Why do high-ranking people and their families need social security allowance? His question was.
'20 percent of people in Nepal are below the poverty line. Social security allowance should be met first. Vinod Choudhary's mother, father why social security? Why social security allowance for my mother, father, wife? Look at the social security budget, it is in bad shape. Can Nepal afford it? Is there an economic situation that can afford it?,' he said.
He says that even if social allowance is increased, it should be given only to the poor. I am not asking to reduce rupees, if you give 4 thousand rupees, give 6 thousand rupees. But give it to the 20 percent who are under poverty,' he said.
At present, the government has been providing social security allowances under the headings of senior citizens, helpless single women, disabled, endangered species, child maintenance allowance, etc.
