2008-08-21 08:03:50Nepal's new cabinet likely to be formed today
Kathmandu, Aug 21 ANI: The Communist Party of Nepal Unified Marxist-Leninist has said that the new cabinet would be formed today and the first cabinet meeting would also be held later in the day. The three major ruling parties, CPN Maoists, CPN UML and the Madhesi Janadhikar Forum MJF held a meeting last evening at the UML's parliamentary party office at Singha Durbar. But, the meeting ended up inconclusive regarding the ministerial portfolio-sharing issue that has been protracting the expansion of the new coalition government in the Himalayan Kingdom."The three-party alliance would hold a meeting this morning to form the new cabinet as the parties have reached closer to a consensus," ekantipur.com quoted UML General Secretary Jhalanath Khanal as saying.It has been learnt that the meeting was concentrated on the power sharing issue and whether to create the post of deputy prime minister.Earlier on Sunday, the parties had finalised the drafts of the common minimum programme CMP, code of conduct, and the new government''s modus operandi. The five-page CMP has set priorities such as timely drafting of new constitution, brining the peace process to a logical end, restructuring of the state, immediate relief to the conflict-affected people, integration of Maoist army into Nepal Army and implementation of past agreements, among others. However, the wrangling over the sharing of ministerial portfolios among the coalition partners has protracted the cabinet formation process.While there was broad agreement that nine ministerial portfolios would go to the largest party CPNMaoist, six to CPNUML and four to the Forum and remaining four to other smaller parties, the dispute was on who would hold the key portfolios like the defence, foreign, water sources, communication and education. It was decided that the Finance would go to the Maoist. The Maoists, who are poised to lead the government after the historic Constituent Assembly polls, are under enormous pressure to form the new cabinet by Friday as Nepal's Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal a.k.a. Prachanda is due to visit China on Saturday to take part in the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. ANI
