The Nepali government on Tuesday afternoon decided to recommend that President Ram Chandra Paudel issue two ordinances, following a Cabinet meeting held that afternoon. Government spokesperson Sasmit Pokharel said the Cabinet had agreed to forward the recommendation to the President.
Cabinet decision
The decision was taken at a meeting of the Council of Ministers on Tuesday. The Cabinet agreed to send its recommendation to President Paudel for the issuance of two ordinances, according to Pokharel, who conveyed the government’s decision.
The announcement confirms that the Cabinet has taken up the ordinances and agreed to refer them to the President. The recommendation concerns two separate ordinances, but the information provided about the decision does not identify their titles, subject areas or specific provisions.
Details of the ordinances
Pokharel’s statement, as reported, focused on the Cabinet’s decision to forward the recommendation. No further details were provided about what the ordinances would address, why they were proposed or how their provisions might affect government agencies or the public. The available information also does not specify when the recommendation will reach the President or when a decision on issuance may be made.
The government’s announcement therefore establishes the next step it has approved: recommending the two ordinances to President Paudel. Any assessment of their scope or likely effects will depend on the contents of the ordinances, which were not included in the information accompanying the Cabinet decision.
For now, the confirmed development is the Cabinet’s Tuesday afternoon decision and the plan to forward its recommendation to the President. The government spokesperson’s remarks did not provide additional information about the ordinances or outline any further steps beyond submitting the recommendation.
