KATHMANDU, Aug 10: Maoist CA members have proposed a provision in the new constitution to prevent the executive from dissolving the parliament frequently to ensure political stability in the country.
Speaking at the CA meeting on Monday, Maoist CA member Nanda Kumar Prasai said, "The constitution should discourage the executive from dissolving parliament frequently."
He argued that parliament should be made powerful enough so that the executive cannot dissolve it, which he said, would pave the way for political stability. He said the political parties should forge consensus on constitution-making.
The CA is currently holding discussion on the reports prepared by its committee to determine the form of legislative bodies.
The committee has proposed a bicameral legislature in which House of Representative will have 151 members and National Assembly 51 members. The Maoists have registered a note of dissent demanding unicameral legislature.
Nepali Congress (NC) lawmaker Suprabha Ghimire argued that it would not be relevant to discuss the legislature´s form as the CA is yet to finalize the state restructuring model.
NC lawmakers Arjun Prasad Joshi opined that the members of the lower house should be elected directly and the upper house proportionally.
