House suspends rules to endorse pending budget bills
8:05 AM
Parliament on Thursday suspended six provisions of the Parliamentary
Regulations in order to endorse three pending budget bills from the
ongoing session of the House.The House had required to suspend the rules
as the bills were already rejected by the same session of House
earlier.The Parliament on July 22 had rejected the Finance Bill, the
Bill to Raise Domestic Debt and the Loan and Guarantee Bill, with
majority votes, as the Nepali Congress and the CPN Maoist Centre had
voted against the vital bills.
The parties had voted against the bills
as the then CPN-UML-led government had been thrown into the minority,
though the Appropriation Bill was already passed by the House before the
CPN MC had withdrawn support extended to the government led by UML
Chairman KP Sharma Oli.But, the Cabinet meeting held today had decided
to table the bills for approval at the House.
