Opposition parties disrupts National Assembly meeting

KATHMANDU: Opposition parties have disrupted the meeting of the National Assembly, the upper house of the Federal Parliament today.

Opposition lawmakers disrupted the meeting protesting the dismissal of Kulman Ghising, Managing Director of Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA).

They demanded that the Prime Minister should inform the Assembly about the reasons for removing Ghising from his post.

“Kulman Ghising’s remaining service period in NEA was only four months. What was the compulsion of removing Ghising when only four months before the termination of his term,” wondered lawmaker Gopi Bahadur Sarki Achhami while speaking at the outset of the meeting.

Achhami accused the government of removing Ghising from his post as a ‘reward’ for his contribution to removing endless load shedding from the country.
