Gandaki Province Assembly: Way for thematic committee open
In the 59-member National Assembly, one-third of the members are elected every two years. In the rules of the National Assembly, there is a provision to reconstitute the thematic committees and election of the new heads of those committees.
This led to the criticisms that the heads of the thematic committees were not elected on time. Now, the parties have agreed to hold the election of the chairman on September 8.
The National Assembly has a Sustainable Development and Good Governance Committee, Legislative Management Committee, Delegated Management and Government Assurance Committee and National Concerns and Coordination Committee.
