Lawmaker-elects trying to act as executives even before swearing-in

Experts on parliamentary affairs say the elected representatives should instead focus on how to perform their roles in the House effectively.

On Monday, Mahesh Bartaula, a newly elected member of the House of Representatives from Makwanpur-2, inspected Krishi Samagri Kendra in Hetauda and asked the officials why the farmers were not getting chemical fertilisers. He also directed Prakash Gyawali, director of the centre, to immediately start distributing fertiliser to the farmers in his constituency.
