September 13, Kathmandu - The National Assembly has passed the Public Service Commission Bill, 2075 BS by a majority. The bill was passed amid obstruction by lawmakers from the main opposition party, the CPN-UML.

On behalf of Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, Minister for Law, Justice, and Parliamentary Affairs Gyanendra Bahadur Karki presented a proposal to pass the Public Service Commission Bill, 2075 BS with a message from the House of Representatives. The new act has been brought with the objective of making public service efficiency, quality, and transparent. The Act will come into force 31 days after its verification. Even in today's second meeting of the National Assembly, the UML MPs were still obstructing.

As soon as the meeting started, UML lawmakers stood up and protested Ganesh Prasad Timilsina had given time to the party's MP Komal Oli to make his statement. MP Oli accused the speaker of abusing his parliamentary seat and said that the proceedings of the House could not proceed in the current situation. Stating that it was not appropriate to obstruct the National Assembly over the issues raised in the House of Representatives, CA chairperson Timilsina urged the lawmakers to maintain the legitimacy and dignity of the House.
