It's a democratic culture that people know how much salary and benefits the president and prime minister take out from their tax money. They would not know about this in the past monarchies. The common people have no way to increase income. Can the government make sure that market is controlled and economic life of people is in ease? manij  - good   |78.101.35.xxx |2009-09-10 15:48:50 now they feel the market price. Nima Sherpa  - Wasting money   |207.200.116.xxx |2009-09-10 12:15:15 The President, PM and CA members do not deserve pay raise. They do nothing for the welfare and development of Nepal and the Nepali people. All the public money has been wasted for making the life of this politicians comfortable, while majority of fellow citizens are suffering from poverty and hunger. Anonymous   |86.96.226.xxx |2009-09-10 11:56:38 this pay hike is very small part of theri earning and nothing in front of How many portion of budget scheme they take the stake, and commissions % they are getting from fraud and dirty business and politcs. For good leader and real nepali leader who works for nepal and has vision for Nepal this pay is very small but the present thugs politicians they dont deserve anything!!! these thugs should be kept without food and water till they realize the importance of leader for the country. Prem Tamang  - Pay hiked   |86.15.173.xxx |2009-09-10 11:49:46 This is good news for the Nepalese peoples,because the persons who are getting more salary may be doing everything and the publics will get finefits in everywhere and steps.Also the publics are hope that the consuition will be ready early and best consuition of Nepal like the Arabian Camel.The Nepal`budget are not for develop the country and for the publics,only for the house of parliment.Why not min of Rs one hundred thousand? Anonymous  - How long it take nepal bankrupt?   |60.242.225.xxx |2009-09-10 11:21:34 These unethical, lazy, low moral thugs are doing nothing rather increasing conflict and pushing country's economic condition lower. How do they justify they need pay rise for doing nothing. Naresh  - Wrong Timing   |202.79.40.xxx |2009-09-10 09:43:52 The proposed pay hike is not a big thing. Prez, PM and ministeres should get much more than what is being proposed. But it is a WRONG TIME for these things now and at will definitely send wrong message in the public. CA members, they are bycotting the CA proceedings; they are finishing their ignments in time and because of them the consution drafting is being re-re-re-scheduled for the sixth time. Moreover, they are getting many other allounces. In this situation, why pay hike for CA members. Shame ! Shame! Shame! rodan  - fataha neta ho   |60.50.103.xxx |2009-09-10 09:43:34 wah!

Badhai 6 republican Neta ho. raaja falna janatale jyan diye, pidit bhaye, tar tesko fal netale matra liye. pahila 1 raja thiye ahile ta haharau raja bane. Ananta ghiimire  - Prez, pm Pay hike   |80.252.82.xxx |2009-09-10 09:40:31 To me this decision is a shame, this pay increase at this time period when all the general public are struggeling with price rise of their daily commodities in a geometrical manner. Pay increase is not so high but why should they go for it they all are capable engoungh to make their living with the current salary scale and why such decision, this to me is eroded and nonsensetive morale of our leaders.
