 Nine complaints have been filed against 17 proposed ambassadors to different countries at the Parliamentary Hearing Committee (PHC).

The information was shared in today's meeting of the committee. Committee President Ishwori Devi Neupane said the hearing on the complaints has been scheduled to start from August 30.

"Nine complaints have been filed against 17 ambassadors proposed by the government for various countries. We will call the complaintants at the Committee and ask them to clarify subject of their complaint and its rationale," she mentioned.

Neupane further said, "Schedule has been revised and passed in accordance with Section 15 of Parliamentary Hearing Committee Procedure on the issue of concluding hearing process, holding discussion by calling the proposed ambassadors."

During the meeting, lawmakers expressed the view that the appointment of ambassador was not inclusive.
