The second day of the formal session of MUN started on the virtual platform on Sunday, September 13 at 9 am with K. P. Oli (Sulaxana Thapa) raised a moderated caucus on the topic "Effect of Covid on economy of Nepal" which was passed by full house majority and the speech was started by K. P. Oli (Sulaxana Thapa).
“Though the country’s economy had doubled in 2019, why is the economy of 2021 less than 2019?” asked by Bina Magar (Pragyan Devkota) to K. P. Oli. Responding to it, K. P. Oli stated about the covid cases and how many aspects of the economy were affected by it. The debate about this topic was going on when suddenly a crisis hit the floor about how 500 million dollars were issued for the International Airport project in Pokhara and even though the due date is near, not even 75% of the work was completed even after using more than the average amount.
Many CPN delegates accused the congress party for using the issued and donated money in other things other than the project itself. The delegate of Bishnu Paudel (Bibek Bhattrai) asked "Not even 75% of the work has been done then where was all the money used then?" Hearing this question the delegates of the Congress party did not have any answers but later there was another crisis stating that Bishnu Paudel (Bibek Bhattrai) was the finance minister during that time which put the delegate in a difficult situation.
At last, a resolution was reached which was passed by the chairs with a full house majority. All the delegates agreed to it including the delegate of Pampha Bhusal (Sreejal Adhikari), the delegate of Ram Kumari Jhakri (Palistha Tamrakar) ,and the delegate of Ragubir Mahaseth (Prensu Sapkota). The resolution was that the parties regretted blaming each other and recalling everyone's mistake. In future, the parties plan to establish a healthy relationship between all parties to uplift the country's economy.
The committee was adjourned then all the chairs and the delegates shared their experiences. The moderator congratulated all the delegates for finishing their final session properly and also the chair told them that he was proud of them. The vice-chair also thanked the delegates for being respectful and doing their best.
