HoR session: Government urged to present policies, programmes and budget in a single document

Kathmandu: Rastriya Swatantra Party's lawmaker Dr. Swarnim Wagle has advised the government to present the policies and programs and the budget as an integrated document.

Taking part in the deliberations on the government policies and programs for the upcoming fiscal year 2023-24 in a session of the House of Representatives today, the lawmaker urged the government to compile the policies and programs and the budget in a single document. Commenting over the government's new policies and programs, the lawmaker who is also an economist said, ' It, however, is largely a customary document, its good aspects be implemented effectively.'

He took time to advise the government to come up with a realistic budget based on its policies and viabilities with good intentions. Dr. Dhawal Shumsher JB Rana urged the government to address issues of landless squatters in a permanent way and provide farmers with chemical fertilizers on time while Janata Samajbadi Party's Prakash Adhikari said the policies and programs failed to prioritize the issues and came as a document of scattered programs.

Similarly, airing views on the policies and programs earlier, Arjun Narsingh KC of Nepali Congress, said the building of a corruption-free society was the first constitution to promote good governance.

Stating that the fresh policies and programs reflected the government's 'commitments' to good governance, he underlined the need of implanting a zero-tolerance against corruption. The leader urged the government to intervene in unemployment and inflation issues, suggesting the idea of encouraging the youth force to agriculture.
