If her words are anything to go by, the full House meeting tomorrow would forward the proposal to the Impeachment Recommendation Committee tomorrow.

The debate had begun on October 25.

As many as 157 lawmakers of CPN-UML and CPN Maoist Centre had registered the motion against the controversial chief of the anti-graft constitutional body last month.

While the proposing parties have already decided to vote for the motion against Karki, the largest force in the House–Nepali Congress–is yet to make any decision over the issue.
