KATHMANDU, Feb 19: The Standing Committee meeting of the ruling CPN (Unified Socialist) held on Saturday decided to let the government table the US-funded Millenium Challenge Corporation (MCC) in parliament as the grant agreement has already been registered at the Parliament Secretariat Office.


Prior to the meeting, the Madhav Kumar Nepal-led CPN (Unified Socialist) stood strongly against the project stating that the compact agreement needed to be amended before tabling it in parliament for ratification.

The CPN (Unified Socialist) has also asserted that the ruling coalition should not break because of the parliamentary ratification of MCC grant deal.
