In short

  • The Nepali Congress proposed a structured levy system to reform its current method of gathering political funds.
  • The initiative aims to stop the intimidation of entrepreneurs and businessmen through donation solicitation.
  • The proposal was introduced in Kathmandu to establish a more transparent financial relationship with businesses.

The Nepali Congress has proposed a significant shift in its financial operations by introducing an effective levy system. This new approach is intended to reform how the political party secures its funding. Currently, the organisation relies on soliciting financial contributions from various external sources. According to the proposal, the establishment of a structured levy system aims to protect the business community. The party highlighted that the existing practice of seeking donations can often intimidate local businessmen and entrepreneurs. By transitioning to a formal levy, the party hopes to create a more transparent and less coercive financial environment. The proposal was put forward in Kathmandu, where the party discussed the need for systematic internal funding. By focusing on regular levies rather than arbitrary donations, the Nepali Congress intends to foster a healthier relationship with the business sector while maintaining its operational budget.
