According to the Bill Section of Parliament Secretariat, three lawmakers filed formal objections on the ordinance on commission for truth and reconciliation (TRC) and enforced disappearance; ordinance for facilities of ex-officials; and the Civil Service Ordinance-2013 (third amendment), respectively. Similarly, two lawmakers each filed reservations on the ordinance concerning mutual legal assistance and the ordinance on health services.

    The secretariat had already received four objections on the ordinance on TRC and enforced disappearances and the ordinance on civil services. The ordinance on health services had also received two demurrals before this.

The ordinance on TRC and enforced disappearance and the ordinance on anti-money laundering are expected to take a considerable attention of the parliament. With the first ordinance, lawmakers have been demanding that the January 2 order of the Supreme Court must be upheld for the formation of two separate commissions for TRC and enforced disappearances. The former government led by Baburam Bhattarai had merged the ordinances on TRC and enforced disappearances with a provision of blanket amnesty, even for those accused of serious crimes like rape.

As for the ordinance on anti-money laundering, if it is eventually enacted into a law then the financial status of political class including politicians and bureaucrats would come under more scrutiny.

The secretariat has received complaint on 10 ordinances tabled. Provision has it that a lawmaker can file reservation on an ordinance demanding that it be scrapped within two days of it being tabled by the government. Sixteen out of 24 ordinances, including the ordinance on the removal of constitutional difficulties which were endorsed by President Ram Baran Yadav on the recommendation of Khil Raj Regmi government in the absence of parliament has been tabled for the final approval.
