KATHMANDU: CPN-UML Secretary Top Bahadur Rayamajhi has said that his party will help the Nepali Congress (NC) if a motion to impeach the speaker is tabled.
Speaking at a program organized in Kathmandu, Secretary Rayamajhi said that UML would support the NC if it brought a motion of impeachment to remove Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota. He said the speaker was not acting in a lawful manner and in accordance with the law of the land.
Secretary Rayamajhi said that the UML would clarify its position on Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) only after the ruling coalition took its stance on the matter. He also said that it was better to impeach the speaker to resume business of the parliament.
Secretary Rayamajhi said, “We are not in the government now, we are in the opposition. What do the parties in government, the coalition, do? Until that is not clear, what we have to say is meaningless. Our party decides when the government take a clears position. If MCC is not tabled in parliament and the NC proposes to impeach the Speaker, we will support the NC.”
Rayamajhi also urged the government to immediately declare the date for local level election as per the constitutional provision. He alleged that coalition of conspiring not to hold the election and stressed that the local levels should not be left without people’s representatives.
“The UML does not go for an election alliance with other parties in the local level election. It will go to the people with own agenda,” he declared.
