'MCC implementation will go in the usual manner'

By TRN Online, Kathmandu, Aug. 30: Minister for Communication and Information Technology, Rekha Sharma, also the government spokesperson, has said that the MCC-Nepal Compact will go into implementation in the usual manner.

Minister Sharma made the remarks while responding to the queries of the journalists in the press meet organized today to make public the decisions of the Tuesday's Cabinet meeting.

"Implementation issue of the MCC went through dispute, dialogue and discussion and we made the 12-point explanatory resolution through the parliament, and as that was the time of protest, the solution was sought considering the situation," she said.

She dismissed questions whether MCC will be carried out or not. "Today, there is no question of implementation as it will be carried out in the usual manner. I think the major point is whether the 12-point explanatory note that we endorsed will be regarded as its part or not. Therefore, for this the government is careful."

Referring to Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda's recent remark on the issue, she mentioned that the government is in the view that the explanatory note will be tied up with the MCC while carrying it out.

She said that discussion will be held as necessary to respond to any problems if and when they surface in this respect.
