The Constitution Amendment Task Force has been suggested to include a provision in the constitution to elect Supreme Court judges.

Janmat Party Chairman CK Raut made this suggestion during a discussion on the constitution amendment paper led by Prime Minister Balendra Shah's advisor Asim Shah at Singha Dabar on Thursday. The suggestion came to the Constitution Amendment Task Force as the controversy over the appointment of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is waning. The task force has prepared 54 points for the paper. 11 of which are related to the judiciary. Raut made this suggestion while suggesting it.

In the discussion held at Singha Dabar, the task force had sought suggestions on constitutional amendment from leaders of parties including Congress, UML, Rashtrapati Bhavan, and NCP. In the discussion, Raut argued that the republic should be further strengthened through constitutional amendment and proposed fundamental structural reforms. He said that the form of government should be changed by directly electing the president and directly electing the provincial heads. He said that the heads of constitutional bodies should also be elected and the costly electoral system should be changed, and the 'right to reject' and 'right to recall' should be guaranteed in the constitution. He suggested that experts should be made ministers and that whips should not be imposed on MPs.

Congress leader Min Bishwakarma held the view that the basic issues and preambles of the constitution should not be used. Terming the constitution as a dynamic document, he suggested that basic achievements such as republicanism, federalism, inclusiveness and national sovereignty should be maintained. Leader Bishwakarma held the view that inclusiveness should be ensured within the direct electoral system and a multi-representative electoral system should be implemented.

UML central member and Constituent Assembly member Krishna Bhakta Pokharel held the view that the main pillars of the constitution should not be destroyed during the amendment. He suggested reducing the number of members of the National Assembly, adopting a system where the Vice President is the Speaker of the National Assembly, and making arrangements to have only five to seven ministers in the provinces. 

NCP leader Madhav Sapkota said that there should be a fully proportional election system and a direct executive head.  He also mentioned that the Vice President should be made the Speaker of the National Assembly and that a system of selecting ministers from experts would be appropriate. 

Former Foreign Minister Ramesh Nath Pandey suggested that a roadmap for long-term constitutional amendment should be drawn only after an unbiased review of the strengths and weaknesses of the past seven constitutions. He pointed out that hasty decisions could render the constitution lifeless and urged the current government to work in a historically mature manner without political haste. 

Chief Whip of the RSVP parliamentary party, Kavindra Burlakoti, said that now is the right time for constitutional amendment and that it should move forward quickly by incorporating the views of the common people. 

Keshav Kumar Jha of the National Liberation Party Nepal commented that the originality, philosophy and culture of Nepal have disappeared in the current constitution and argued that it needs to be comprehensively revised. He suggested that local levels should be under the province and that local levels should be party-free.

Former Minister Kalpana Dhamala emphasized the implementation of fundamental rights and practical arrangements for easy citizenship through mother's name and suggested that the proportional inclusion quota should not be repeated more than once. Congress leader and Constituent Assembly member Deepak Kuinkel suggested reducing the number of parliament and ministers.
