KATHMANDU: The House of Representatives is set to deliberate some far-reaching bills and reports. Today's session will commence at 1 PM at the Parliament Building in New Baneshwor. Some legislative issues are expected to be discussed with lawmakers that are impacting national policy.


Prime Minister K. P. Sharma Oli will present the sixth and seventh annual reports of the National Security Council for the years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, respectively, which are expected to illuminate salient aspects of the security situation in the country and the strategic actions taken in the past two years.


Speaker Devraj Ghimire will introduce the Nepal Citizenship (2nd Amendment) Bill, 2024 for discussion and approval. This is an important subject for legislative consideration, for it is expected that the proposed amendment will try to resolve major issues confronting the citizenship policy.


A discussion on the Nepal Police Bill, 2024, which seeks to change the framework for law enforcement, will be proposed by Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak. Prime Minister Oli will also present a proposal for discussion of the Prevention of Corruption (First Amendment) Bill, 2018, which was first approved by the National Assembly.


The committee in charge of administration and state governance will be delivering its conclusions relative to the anti-corruption law after having reviewed the proposed amendments surrounding it and will consider the recommendations for possible enhancements to government transparency and accountability.


Another pertinent area under consideration is the Prevention of Corruption (First Amendment) Bill, 2018, which will be seen as a demonstration of the commitment of the government to strengthening anti-corruption action. The parliamentary session would be a significant point for the promotion of legislative ideas in such pressing fields.
