KATHMANDU, MAY 21 - Constituent Assembly (CA) Chairman Subash Nemwang said on Friday that the country would have to face challenges of political and constitutional complications if the CA’s term is not extended with May 280—the deadline to draft the new constitution.
At a time when the government and the main opposition UCPN (Maoist) have been saying the CA will only be inactive after May 28 the CA chair said there was no alternative to extending the CA’s tenure.
Talking to reporters at his office in Singha Durbar today, “The situation will be complicated if we could not extend the CA’s term by amending the constitution.”
Nemwang opined that the interim constitution can be amended through due procedure within seven days.
He reiterated that the promulgation of the new constitution cannot be imagined from outside the CA as 80 percent of the statute-drafting procedure has been completed.
Dictatorship will come into existence if the popularly elected platform to draft the new constitution is dissolved, Nemwang remarked.
He said the foundation to take ahead the stalled statute-drafting process will be created if the CA’s term is extend by resolving the army integration and power sharing.
