MP Rajendra Rai Objects to Government's Plan to Remove Contractual and Temporary Employees

Kathmandu. UML MP Rajendra Rai has objected to the government's preparation to remove contractual and temporary employees who have been working in service delivery for years. Speaking for a special time in the House of Representatives meeting, MP Rai drew the Speaker's attention to the government to protect the employment of these employees and prioritize them.

MP Rai informed the parliament that many contractual and temporary employees were gathered in front of the Ministry of Finance yesterday with worried expressions, and he learned about their sad situation after discussing with them.

"They have spent a significant part of their lives in the service of the state and the people as contractual and temporary employees," said MP Rai, "but the new government, which claims to be building the nation, is understood to be preparing to dismiss them from service. This is certain to ruin the lives of those employees and their families."

Pointing out the painful situation where thousands of Nepali youths are going abroad in search of employment daily, MP Rai said that snatching the employment of contractual and temporary employees working in the country for low wages is unjust.

"On one hand, we talk about providing employment to youth within the country, and on the other hand, we are snatching away existing employment and pushing them onto the streets. How can this be justified?" he said.
