State Affairs Committee seeks help from the National Assembly to correct the deceit in ‘cooling-off’ provision

Kathmandu – The State Affairs and Good Governance Committee has sought the intervention of the National Assembly regarding alleged manipulations in the cooling-off provision.

The committee decided to request the National Assembly to make necessary corrections. Additionally, it decided to ask Speaker Devraj Ghimire to establish a high-level investigative committee to probe the issues surrounding the cooling-off period.

The resolution stated that the Speaker should be requested to form such a committee to investigate who was involved and the extent of their wrongdoing in what has been described as a conspiratorial and malicious matter.
