Kathmandu – During Thursday’s session of the House of Representatives, lawmakers discussed the annual policy and program for the fiscal year 2082/83.
CPN (Unified Socialist) MP Prakash Jwala emphasized the need to amend Nepal’s constitution in the public interest through national consensus. “The policy document only briefly mentions constitutional amendment, but lacks a concrete plan,” said Jwala. “We must amend the constitution with a forward-looking, people-centric agenda.”
Jwala stressed that constitutional reforms should aim to:
-
Address federal implementation issues
-
Reduce the costly electoral system
-
Streamline constitutional bodies
-
Ensure rights of women, Dalits, and marginalized communities
He also urged that the constitution be reviewed to reflect present realities and serve the broader national interest.
