Harka Sampang Urges Legal Overhaul to Tackle Administrative Hurdles

Kathmandu. Harka Sampang, Member of the House of Representatives from Sunsari Constituency No. 1 and Chairman of the Shram Sanskriti Party, has written an open letter addressed to the Government of Nepal and the Minister of Law. He pointed out that the root cause of the country's lack of development lies in administrative entanglements and the working style of the bureaucratic mechanism, stating that a major surgery of the legal system is necessary.

MP Rai has accused the bureaucracy of disregarding elected representatives, defying directives, and causing significant delays in work in the name of procedure. Describing administrative and procedural complexities as cancer, he insisted that there is no alternative but to amend the laws to untangle such knotted legal ties.

He has offered two main suggestions to the government through his letter. First, to make defiant employees obedient, the current system of permanent appointment should be completely abolished and a contract-based system should be implemented. Second, cumbersome laws that take years to process should be repealed and replaced with development-friendly, simple, and accessible laws.

Harka Sampang also mentioned in his letter that he and his party are always ready to provide suggestions, support, and cooperation necessary for such changes.
