Business Advisory meeting kicks off to discuss MCC proposal

A meeting of the Business Advisory Committee under the House of Representatives has kicked off at the Federal Parliament Building, New Baneshwor. Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota is chairing the meeting. 

The meeting will dwell on the agreement on US-aid proposal from the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) and it is expected to decide whether to present the MCC compact in the HoR meeting scheduled for today. 

The MMC is taking time to make its entry in the House as differing views have come within from the ruling alliance itself. Home Minister Bal Krishna Khand, Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, Dilendra Prasad Badu and Nepali Congress Whip Pushpa Bhusal are attending the meeting on behalf of the major ruling NC.

Others present in the meeting are CPN (Maoist Centre) whip Rekha Sharma, leader Jaypuri Gharti, CPN (Unified Socialist) Chief Whip Jeevan Ram Shrestha, Loktantrik Samajbadi Party Nepal’s Laxman Lal Karna and Durga Poudel of Rastriya Janamorcha.
