The Task Force tasked with coming up with what we can amend or change in our Constitution has finished its task, and the 500-page discussion paper is now on PM Balen's desk! Asim Shah's team wants to surgically alter 245 out of its 308 articles from our 2015 Constitution.
The discussion paper talks about overhauling our crooked system. It talks about abolishing federalism, having a directly elected President, and cutting down the army of politicians whom we feed with our taxpayers' money. As usual, our opposition wallahs are wailing and reacting like a kid denied a ChocoFun!
Task force coordinator Asim Shah tells us that his team collected more than 40,000 suggestions, and most of them came from emails and WhatsApp. The future blueprint of this great land was crowdsourced via the same app your grumpy uncle uses to send 'Good Morning' stuff with hundreds of our deities!
Shah's team may be a few days late in coming up with this report, but well, we waited thirty years for the water from Melamchi! But they have clarified that this monster document is just a discussion paper and has not recommended anything concrete.
And at the other end of the spectrum is our RPP Chairperson, Rajendra Lingden, who still wants a comeback of the monarchy and a return to a Hindu state. I guess Liingden is still living in the 19th century!
The Task Force has come up with 54 proposals across eight categories, including the idea of letting our Nepalis living overseas actually vote rather than just sending back remittances to keep our economy alive, and also allowing our hakims and netas to ride around in luxury SUVs.
Meanwhile, our so-called constitutional experts are also suffering from panic attacks as they think that the document has no political legitimacy, as the so-called other major parties walked out of any discussion. Some of them warn us that we even risk losing the current constitution. Well, why scare us all when nothing has been passed and won't be passed because the Upper House is still controlled by the same old chor parties?
I think we have to understand that for the first time in our political history, we have a 500-page document full of citizen-sourced ideas, and this terrifies the old guard. For the first time, the dialogue is not being dictated by old grumpy chor netas in closed rooms. We have survived three decades of loot, and we can definitely survive the tantrums of these grumpy political dinosaurs.
The only way I see out is to go for a referendum instead. Maybe then Lingden and his gang can finally shut up and post their resumes on LinkedIn instead, and we will finally have a directly elected President like in America, and our lawmakers can focus on their constituencies instead of trying to be shadow Prime Ministers!
