Kathmandu, March 28
A day after medical education reform activist Dr Govinda KC warned of staging another round of fast-unto-death, the government has decided to table the Medical Education Ordinance in Parliament seeking approval.
Owing to Dr KC’s demand, the previous government had issued the law in the absence of legislative body. The constitution requires that such an ordinance should be endorsed by Parliament within 60 days.
Minister for Education, Science and Technology Giriraj Mani Pokharel has made the decision to table the ordinance. A source at the Ministry says the government is also drafting a bill to replace the ordinance with a regular act.
