    Budget Speech of Fiscal Year 2016/17 Government of Nepal Ministry of Finance 28 May 2016 0 UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATION Budget Speech of Fiscal Year 2016/17 Delivered to Legislature-Parliament by Honorable Finance Minister Mr. Bishnu Prasad Paudel Saturday 28 May 2016 Government of Nepal Ministry of Finance 2016 www.mof.gov.np i Right Honorable Speaker, 1. I feel privileged to present the first budget, after the promulgation of the Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, before this august Legislature-Parliament. On the historical occasion of the Republic Day today on 28th May 2016, I pay homage to respected martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the cause of democratic republic, federalism, secularism, inclusion and social justice. I respectfully remember the towering personalities of Pushpalal Shrestha, Bisheshwor Prasad Koirala, Madan Bhandari, Manmohan Adhikari and Ganeshman Singh. I express my heartfelt honor to all Nepali sisters and brothers who contributed to the movements for achieving justice, equality, independence and prosperity. 2. We have entered into a new era after the promulgation of the constitution. We have been successful in institutionalizing political rights through the constitution. The constitution has made all Nepalese sovereign. All types of discriminations and inequalities have been ended and equal rights, equal opportunities and equal respects have been accorded to all. As envisaged by the constitution, we have now entered into the phase of economic prosperity to reach the goal of social justice and socialism. In order to achieve prosperity with social justice, our fight should now be focused against underdevelopment, poverty and backwardness. 3. An epoch-making change was possible through collaboration and unity among the political parties.

  • Briefing Paper, No
    Briefing Paper, No. 11, September 2014 ATTENDANCE AND PROCESS IN CA II Briefing Paper Martin Chautari No. 11 September 2014 Martin Chautari www.martinchautari.org.np Attendance and Process in Constituent Assembly II Introduction Progress in the constitution-writing process since the second Constituent Assembly (CA) elections in November 2013 has been slow.1 There have been two main challenges to progress in constitution-writing. Firstly, as in the aftermath of the first CA elections, the major political parties have prioritized power distribution and the consolidation of power. The new government was formed four months following the elections2 and inter-party differences continue to be compounded by intra-party divisions in all the major political parties. Secondly, again as with the duration of the first CA, the progress on peace building has determined the pace of constitutional change. If in the tenure of the first CA the issue of the integration of the two armies had been central, in the second tenure, it has been the establishment of the Commission on Inquiry of Disappeared Persons and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission3 and more recently, the demand by the Unified Communist Party of Nepal–Maoist (UCPN-M) to establish a High Level Political Committee (HLPC ) agreed upon as part of the December 2013 four-point deal. The agreement originally ensured UCPN-M’s participation in the second CA and was agreed upon at the time as an instrument to facilitate the constitution drafting process and resolve issues concerning the peace process.4 With this background, this Martin Chautari (MC) briefing paper focuses on the progress and challenges of the second CA and lessons learnt, and not learnt, 1 For an analysis of the failure of the first CA see Martin Chautari (MC) Briefing Paper No.
