It is unfortunate that post of Vice-Chairperson of NA is vacant: Bamdev Gautam
He suggested that women parliamentarians campaign for elections for two seats.
KATHMANDU: Bamdev Gautam, a member of the National Assembly (NA), said it was a shame that the positions of Deputy Speaker and Vice-Chairperson of the National Assembly had been vacant for so long.
In a National Assembly meeting on Tuesday, Gautam said it was a shame that the government had not paid attention to the selection of the Deputy Speaker and Vice-Chairperson of the National Assembly.
He claimed that the delay in the election was caused by the constitution’s provision for a female Vice-Chairperson and deputy speaker. He suggested that women parliamentarians campaign for elections for two seats.
Gautam drew the attention of National Assembly Speaker Ganesh Prasad Timilsina to the need to appoint a Vice-Chairperson to the National Assembly.
