Lawmaker urges govt to prepare report on US assistance



KATHMANDU: Lawmaker Gokul Prasad Baskota has demanded the government that it prepared a report on the US assistance to Nepal.

Speaking in the special hour of the House of Representatives on Sunday, lawmaker Baskota said a clear report on US assistance- through its aid agency, embassy and government- to Nepal is necessary. Even the subjects to which the aid is provided requires documentation, he underlined.

“It is essential to make public the report on the US assistance to Nepal. Nepal’s international image and national sentiment must not be sullied,” he said, adding, “Clarity is needed whether it is Nepal or the US government involved in fraud relating to the US aid to Nepal.”

He further underlined the need for Nepal to have a clear policy on acceptance of foreign assistance so that it could move ahead with judicious steps hereafter.

The parliament and all citizens need to be informed about the received assistance and spending, Baskota reiterated. Baskota is a lawmaker of ruling CPN UML.
