KATHMANDU: A meeting of the National Assembly (NA) is underway at the Federal Parliament building in New Baneshwor today.
Provided everything goes as per the schedule, the Appropriation Bill will be tabled in today’s NA meeting. If there is an agreement among the parties, lawmakers will present their deliberation on the Bill.
Once the lawmakers finish deliberating, 72 hours will be allocated for the lawmakers to present their views for the Bill for amendment.
Members of the National Assembly also have the facility to propose spending cuts on the Bill. If an MP makes such a proposal, it will also be discussed.
After that, the National Assembly will pass the bill and send it back to the House of Representatives (HoR). Once the Speaker signs the Bill, the HoR will send the Bill to the President for authentication.
