I heard one day Prachanda said that our assembley is based on WEST MINISTER model.
LetsCompare
Nepal's parliament with Britains West minister
- Nepal has about 600 members in the assembly. 300 elected and about 300 nominated. The people are nominated in the name of proportional representation. Proportional representation gives easy route to assembly through the back door especially to the people who lost the election. There is no miniumum criteria of education to be member.
- Britain's west minister has
HOUSE OF COMMONS consisting of elected people... and
HOUSE OF LORDS consisting of nominated people (similar as nominated people in Nepal but not from any party). House of lords consists of top people, sportsman like lord sabastian coe, top industrialist like richard branson and alan sugar, top doctors, engineers, lawyer etc .
Just compare that to nepal. Nepal assembly has killers, diplomatic passport sellers, some members slaps public servants, some are found in brothel, some carry guns, , some are even found stealing electicity in their home from the street wires. how pathetic is that? Forget about being ministers. These people don't even have mandate. They have already lost mandate one year earlier.
Now they are self extneding their term. And I feel we nepali people are somewhat fool that we are demending consitution from these people. Even if constitution is made, nothing will happen, same people will rule. In last two year nobody seemed to be demanding about health, roads, medicines etc. Britians dont have written consitution. All we nepali do is to rant about CONSITUTION. We have spent millions of dollars each month in so called consitution when people in KARNALI are dying because of lack of rice which does not cost millions. Does consitution is really our priority? I really don't think so. 30-40,000 rupees goes to this 600 assembly member each month. Add to that out of 600....over 200 have already been to foreign visit . The expenses of each members comes out to be over 50,000 each month. 18-20 corores goes each month in the name of PLA to maoist party. Those PLA bhustigre.............sit in the camp has been an easy cash cow for maoist.
isn't it a sad state? We will never have britains like house of lords because all the parties would want their party to be nominated.
AND COMING BACK TO THE SPEECH. That woman is bastard. Whoever makes fun of nepal is bastard. Why is anybody trying to defend the indefensible.
These ministers get chance to go to new york. So rather than sending any doctors , intellectuals....or even anuradha koirla who have first hand experience in dealing with thousands of AIDS victims in nepal she goes herself. She knows nothing about HEALTH.
Such is a health minister of nepal. Forget about being nervous or anything. Anybody can make out she knows nothing about health sector in nepal. Its not about accents. All the people in the world have accents. But going into such a big platform, Nepal should have made sure that they made their voice heard and understand. And being HEALTH MINISTER....IT WAS HER DUTY TO SELECT RIGHT PERSON.................But she wanted to see the Big apple.............which left big egg in our face.
