Talking to representatives of political parties, officials and civil society in Gulmi on Sunday, Minister Rayamajhi said discussions were underway to make the parties mechanism active at the local level in a ´new way´ for the operation of the local bodies. [break]
Earlier, the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) had given directives in the name of government to dissolve the all-party mechanism at the local level.
Minister Rayamajhi reasoned that the meaning of forming consumers committee sans political representatives means only head of such committee should not be a political figure.
He said the present recommendations made for declaring municipalities were not based on serious studies and added other municipalities will be declared only after consultations with experts.
He also claimed that this government is the final troubleshooter for drafting constitution and concluding the ongoing peace process.
This government will finalize the tasks of peace and constitution as incumbent prime minister was the political designer of the Constituent Assembly (CA).
Saying this government will not be toppled down until the peace process was concluded and constitution writing completed, Minister Rayamajhi claimed that national consensus government would be formed under the leadership of Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai.
Also speaking on the occasion, Nepali Congress central member and lawmaker Pushpa Bhusal said NC would not join the government before concluding the peace process and writing of the constitution.
"NC´s priority is peace and constitution instead of government leadership," Bhusal said.
