Gyanendra Shahi, the parliamentary party leader of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), called on the government to solve public problems through legislative processes in parliament instead of evading it. Speaking at an event in Kathmandu on Sunday, Shahi warned that any attempt by the government to govern through ordinances rather than laws would have serious political repercussions. “It is parliament that must pass laws. The government may consider bringing ordinances, but if that happens, KP Oli’s position will become serious. While parliament is in session, do not start work through ordinances,” he said.
Also serving as the party spokesperson, Shahi stressed that parliament is the platform that represents the voice of the people, and the government is the mechanism to implement it. He noted that a strong government increases the need for a functioning parliament. Shahi pointed out that issues such as the squatter problem, the stalled Land Reform Act, and land management must be resolved through laws passed in parliament. “When the government is strong, the need for parliament becomes even greater because we practice democracy and laws must be enacted. Currently, there is the squatter problem,” Shahi said. “Is it possible to manage squatters without a law? The Land Reform Act is stalled, isn’t it? Who will make the Land Reform Act—RPP’s government or another government?”
He further criticized the lack of intergovernmental coordination, noting that some decisions made by the federal government were not implemented at the provincial and local levels, and stressed that the government must take this seriously. “Run the parliament. Don’t avoid parliament. If parliament is the platform that speaks for the people, then the government must implement it,” he added.
