Feedback report on Nepal's draft constitution submitted

Xinhua, July 27, 2015 Adjust font size:

Public feedback on a draft constitution collected from 240 constituencies nationwide was submitted Monday to the Constituent Assembly (CA) Chairman Subash Chandra Nembang.

The Committee on Citizen Relations and Public Opinion Collection, which is responsible for preparing such a report, submitted it.

The government had held a two-day national campaign to collect the public feedback across 75 districts in the country from July 20 to 21.

The report includes suggestions collected through public hearing programs and feedback received through website, email, toll free number and direct mail from the Nepalese living home and abroad.

The CA meeting of full House will discuss the report on Tuesday and then forward it to the Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee, which will amend the draft in line with the suggestions and forward the revised draft to CA.

The Constitution Drafting Committee will table the draft as a bill for endorsement, which needs the approval of two-thirds majority before unveiling it as the final constitution.

The major political parties have already agreed to bring out a new constitution on August 16. Endi
