Power Deal And Unscrupulous NC Lawmakers
By KTM metro Reporter
March 11, 2012: After the Parliamentary Committee on Natural Resources instructed the government not to enforce the deal the agreement reached with the China Three Gorges Corporation (CTGC) on the 750MW West Seti Hydropower Project, Minister for Energy Post Bahadur Bogati has yesterday said that the agreement has reached the deal with the Chinese company following the law of the land, ‘The Rising Nepal’ of today reports.
However, Minister Bogati has accepted that the members of the parliamentary committee have done so due to the lack of clarity on the deal but when the West Seti power project completes, the power outage would be the thing of past.
Nepali Congress lawmakers such as Laxman Ghimire, Gagan Thapa, and Dhanraj Gurung have said that the deal on the project is legally wrong, and have demanded to revoke the deal. So, anybody could guess what these so-called lawmakers have in mind opposing the power project deal in the face of the heavy power outage.
They are not for making Nepalis have power at any cost and are for letting the Nepalese people and economy suffer from the short supply of power. What kind of these people’s representative are anybody can guess. Nepal has been suffering from the billions of rupees worth of loss of business every day. These NC lawmakers don’t mind it at all.
The funniest thing the members of the Parliamentary Committee on Natural Resources have said is that the West Seti Hydro Power project is an anti-national project. Then, what is national? Is it national to make people suffer from the shortage of power? If they know that people are the nation, they would never say this project is anti-national, as it provides the people with much needed power for the people’s daily lives.
Talking to reporters in Dang on Saturday, Minister for Energy Bogati has said that he is going to reduce the daily power outage controlling the power leakage and purchasing additional power from India. Minister Bogati also has claimed that he has been successful to reduce weekly power outage from 88 hours to 60 hours, ‘The Rising Nepal’ of today writes.
Speaking at an interaction event in Kathmandu on Sunday, Minister for Energy Bogati has warned of stopping the enforcement of the deal with China Three Gorges Corporation (CTGC) on the 750 MW West Seti Hydro Power Project would mean scaring away large scale foreign investments in Nepal forever according to the news posted on the Nepalnews.com
