While the political leadership debates whether or not to pass the US grant project, Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), through parliament, the business community is in favour of implementing the project by approving it without delay.
The business leaders said that the MCC project had been excessively politicised and its implementation delayed by political parties and leaders who have vested interests in it.
Private sector umbrella organisations -- Nepal Chamber of Commerce (NCC), Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) and Confederation of Nepalese Industries (CNI) -- have been saying that the MCC project should be passed at the earliest as it is in the interest of the country and for the country's development as well. President of Nepal Chamber of Commerce (NCC) Rajendra Malla said that the MCC project should be passed as it is for the country's overall development.
