Kathmandu, Nepal: The meeting of the Legislature-Parliament has been adjourned for Monday due to lack of quorum.
The meeting of the parliament on Friday was supposed to endorse three important bills – Judicial Administration Bill 2073 BS, Judicial Council Bill 2073 BS and Judicial Service Commission Bill 2073 BS, but adjourned before entering in the formal process due to the lack of quorum.
As lawmaker of the Nepal Workers and Peasants Party (NWPP) Dilli Kafle objected to the meeting when it was started saying that the meeting did not have a quorum, Speaker Onsari Gharti ordered to count the number of lawmakers.
Latter Speaker announced adjournment of the meeting as there were only 126 lawmakers present in the meeting while the required quorum to begin a parliamentary meeting is 149.
It is said that the lawmakers were not attended in the parliament as they have participated in a program organized by the National Democratic Institute (NDI), an international non-governmental organization (INGO), at Park Village Resort, Budanilkantha.
The lawmakers skipped the meeting but went to the meeting of the INGO as the NDI had sent its vehicle to pick the lawmakers from the premises of the Parliament building.
Earlier, Speaker Garti had instructed the lawmakers not to participate in the meeting organized by the INGO/NGO.
