Kathmandu— Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah is scheduled to participate in a live Question and Answer session within the House of Representatives on August 26. The announcement was made during a lower house meeting today by Speaker Dol Prasad Aryal, confirming the date for the parliamentary questioning. This will be the second such session for PM Shah this year, following a previous Q&A held on May 31.

Parliamentary Procedure

Speaker Dol Prasad Aryal formally informed members of the lower house that the Question and Answer session with the Prime Minister had been scheduled. This procedure allows lawmakers to directly question the head of government on policy matters, current events, and other issues of national importance.

The upcoming session will provide an opportunity for parliamentarians to seek clarification and accountability from Prime Minister Shah regarding his administration's actions.

Previous Session

This Q&A with the Prime Minister is not unprecedented; PM Shah previously engaged in a similar parliamentary session on May 31. The scheduling of this second session within a relatively short timeframe suggests an ongoing commitment to transparency and engagement between the executive branch and the legislature.

The August 26th session is expected to cover a range of topics relevant to Nepal’s current political and social landscape.
