Committees of Parliament

संसदीय समिति
💡Highlight any phrase below and we'll explain what it means.
Original Text

Parliament may form committees for detailed examination of legislation, government oversight, financial scrutiny, and other matters. Committee proceedings have the force of parliamentary proceedings.

💡 Plain Language Explanation

Parliament\'s real work happens in committees — Public Accounts Committee (audits government spending), Finance Committee (scrutinizes budget), thematic committees (education, health, defense). Committees can summon ministers, demand documents, and investigate. Their proceedings carry the same legal weight as full parliamentary sessions.

🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या

संसदीय समितिहरू — सार्वजनिक लेखा, अर्थ, विषयगत समिति — सरकारको निगरानीको प्रमुख माध्यम।

Good Aspects

Committees enable deep, expert scrutiny that full chamber sessions cannot provide.

⚠️ Concerns

Committee effectiveness depends on member expertise and political will — many have been toothless in practice.
