Enact Laws In Time

The winter session of House of Representatives (HoR) commenced on Friday (January 31). Known as the ‘Bill session,’ this meeting of the parliament is expected to discuss and endorse scores of pending Bills and newly registered ordinances. The government has tabled six ordinances that seek to amend at least 29 Nepal Acts, with the objective of promoting good governance and effective public service delivery, implementing federalism, and accelerating economic development and land reforms. Amidst the criticisms of opposition parties, the government issued the ordinances by withdrawing the related Bills under consideration in the various House Committees. As the Bills failed to get through the parliament even after months of discussions, the ordinances were unveiled to address the immediate needs of the country.
