Egregious failure

Poor performance of Parliament’s winter session does not bode well for Nepali democracy.

The winter session, which is taken as a bills session, of the federal parliament has been prorogued on Tuesday after another lacklustre performance. It ended by leaving some crucial bills undecided. Only five bills to replace the ordinances plus five other bills were endorsed by the federal parliament in this session. However, it couldn’t endorse important ones like those related to federal civil service and school education that are necessary for the constitution’s full-fledged implementation.
