KATHMANDU: Lawmakers will continue to air their views over the budget presented by the government for the upcoming fiscal year in the House of Representatives (HoR) today as well.
In Sunday’s session, lawmakers questioned Finance Minister Dr Prakash Sharan Mahat as how would he incorporate the matters raised in the parliament in the budget.
Nepali Congress (NC) lawmaker Pradeep Poudel said a citizen has numerous problems ranging from monkey menace to climate change issues.
He added that the citizens feel the presence of the State only while paying taxes.
If the situation continues, how the goals of government programs are met?” he questioned.
Lawmaker Padam Giri was of the view that it seemed health was not the priority of the budget.
“The decision to cut off 20 percent budget to health was concerning,” he said, underling the need of promoting health and education sectors and ensuring people’s mass access to the services.
