People’s Representatives Council For Running Local Administration
By KTM Metro Reporter
July 5, 2011: Minister for Local Development Urmila Aryal has planned to set up a People’s Representatives Council at each village development area and municipalities to run the local administration believing in absence of the representatives responsible to the people, the service delivery at the local level have been erratic and corruption has crept in service delivery.
The Local Development Ministry has planned to make the representation of all political parties in the People’s Representatives Council proportional to the votes they have received in the election to the Constituent Assembly-cum-parliament on April 10, 2008.
The NC leaders have been calling for the elections to the representatives of the local administration instead of forming a People’s Representatives Council even knowing that such elections are not possible in the current political transitional period and they have not held such elections when they have been power for 20 months prior to the current government, Minister Aryal says.
Representatives of seventeen small political parties jointly have opposed the formation of a People’s Representatives Council stating setting up of such a council goes against the Interim Constitution of Nepal of 2007. Obviously, these parties will not have their representation in the People’s Representatives Council, as they will not be qualified to send any representatives based on the votes they have received.
