KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Oli has said the country went through a bitter experience due to a few ill-intentioned parliamentary elements that were not at all fit to be in the parliament.
Giving a television interview Thursday evening, PM Oli said five years tenure of government or parliament was not the criteria of stability but rather the kind of government or parliament in place.
“How could a non-performing government completing its full five-year term be an indicator of stability?” he reasoned.
He argued that ill-intentions and conspiracies should not, however, be plotted against a high-performing government and let such government work for development.
He also said the chaos in the country was invited by a few leaders’ vested interests and their personal ambitions. He pressed that such interests and ambitions of those self-centered, narcissistic leaders were not national interests and served to impede the progress being achieved by development-and action-oriented government.
The PM was of the view that the country should not be subservient to such attitudes of a handful of misleading leaders and miss out on progress and development.
On the issue of Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), PM Oli clarified that the first thing to do was that it must be put to vote to decide its fate.
It is up to the parliamentary majority to either endorse it or renounce it. In this context, he said the Speakers act of holding it was not in the spirit of the constitution.
