Kathmandu, April 1
Total 15 parliamentary committees have been proposed for the Federal Parliament including the House of Representatives and the National Assembly.
If the reports prepared by regulations draft committees of the houses will get endorsed, the House of Representatives (Lower House) and the National Assembly (Upper House) will have 10 and four committees respectively. Besides, the Parliamentary Hearing Special Committee will have members from both the bodies.
However, the Nepali Congress has objected to the proposal of keeping 10 committees in the Lower House. But, the ruling parties have argued that those committees are necessary as there are around 20 ministries in the government and each committee should look after two ministries.
Names of the committees will be finalised tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the government is preparing to prorogue the current session of Parliament for want of sufficient business.
It has been learned that Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli will address the Parliament meeting before flying to India on April 6. Then, the government will recommend the President to prorogue the session.
