Law Minister Sobita Gautam confirmed this decision, which was made during a recent Cabinet meeting. This move involves an amendment to Section 25 of the Federal Parliament Officials and Members' Remuneration and Facilities Act, 2073, to allow for the reintroduction of these secretarial benefits. While enhancing the operational capacity of individual legislators, critics may view this as an increased financial burden on the state coffers. The decision underscores ongoing debates regarding public expenditure and the allocation of state resources in a developing democracy.
