Nepali Speaker promises reforms to make House all- powerful
font size    

Newly elected Nepali Speaker for House of Representatives (HoR) Subas Nemwang has promised reforms to make the House all-powerful, Radio Nepal reported on Sunday.

"The country is now looking for a crystal clear roadmap," said in a speech to the House on his first day as speaker.

"At the moment, we are doing our homework and we will most probably be able to issue that roadmap through a declaration at the next meeting," he said.

He also said he will move ahead with forming a House procedures committee for running House business.

The Seven Party Alliance (SPA) is preparing to table a 10-point bill in the HoR Monday to make the House sovereign and all- powerful, according to him.

According to local media reports, in the bill, the SPA proposed to keep the monarch away from the House, enact a law to choose the heir to the throne, determine palace expenditures, bring in a law that allows questioning in courts of law of illegal actions by the royals and change the name of the "Royal Nepalese Army" to "Nepali Army".

Nemwang took oath on Saturday.
