KATHMANDU: Members of the Impeachment Recommendation Committee are divided over whether to submit a report containing statements of impeached Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher Rana to the House of Representatives.
The committee is undecided over submitting the report due to the opposition of UML lawmakers in the committee.
Nepali Congress Whip and member of the committee, Min Bahadur Bishwakarma, said the committee is yet to prepare its conclusion, decisions and recommendations. “We plan to complete these works on Saturday and register the report at the parliament secretariat the same day,” he added.
UML lawmakers argue that conclusions cannot be written without first studying all the documents.
Lawmakers of the ruling coalition say the UML lawmakers are making such comments because they believe the impeachment motion will become inactive as the parliament’s term ends on Saturday at midnight.
The committee had invited Rana to ask supplementary questions on Friday. After Rana refused to sign his statement without reading it first, the committee read the 174-page statement for Rana. After listening to his statement given to the committee, Rana started signing the statement. He, however, is yet to sign some pages.
The committee plans to ask Rana to sign the remaining pages and ask supplementary questions on Saturday. It plans to submit the report to the parliament secretariat on Saturday itself.
