In today's second meeting of the National Assembly, it was unanimously approved to consider the 'Prevention of Asset Laundering (Third Amendment), Bill 2083'.

The bill was approved after a theoretical discussion on the bill, which was brought to replace the ordinance, and was submitted for decision. MPs who want to amend the bill have been urged to submit it to the Bills Branch of the Federal Parliament.

Finance Minister Dr. Swarnim Wagle had presented a proposal to consider the bill. MPs Bishwaraj Pokharel, Vidushi Rana, Parasmani Gelal, Aren Rai, Chandramohan Yadav and Geeta Gurung participated in the discussion.

The MPs emphasized that there should be strict laws to control illegal wealth acquisition, impartial investigations should be conducted without discrimination against those who acquire undeserved wealth, and initiatives should be taken to bring Nepal out of the 'grey list' of money laundering.
