MP Harka Sampang Calls for MCC Repeal and Policy Reforms in Parliament

Kathmandu. Harka Sampang, Chairman of the Shram Sanskriti Party and Member of the House of Representatives, has stated that the MCC must be repealed to maintain the nation's sovereignty and geopolitical balance. 

Addressing the first meeting of the House of Representatives on Thursday, Sampang stated that there is a public demand to deploy the Nepal Army to protect the borders. Additionally, he suggested that the government's policy and programs should move toward electing a directly executive head of state.

He demanded the formation of a high-level investigation commission to take action against those who used Discord to mobilize students in school uniforms for the Gen-Z movement and those who threatened to burn down the Supreme Court and Parliament building on Bhadau 24. He also called for an investigation into the assets of ministers and MPs through a money laundering commission, starting with himself, and emphasized linking education with production and innovation. 'Students only need to study three days a week; the other four days should be dedicated to production,' he said, emphasizing the need to solve problems in the agricultural sector. 

He suggested implementing a policy of one industry and one employment opportunity per municipality, reviving closed industries, and creating simplified laws to utilize natural resources for public service and welfare.

He further stated that issues regarding good governance, peace and order, and water supply must be addressed, and that the government should avoid hasty decisions, noting that consulting before moving forward would make governance easier.

He also advised the government to reconsider changes to social security allowances, identify the problems of landless squatters, acknowledge that Nepal exists beyond the Kathmandu Valley, and formulate an appropriate policy regarding the pensions of former Gurkha soldiers.
