Quorum crisis


It is common news that there is quorum crisis in our parliament. May I remind our honourable MPs that we, the voters, have elected them to represent us in the parliament. It is regrettable to see that once the MPs are elected they tend to forget the basic truth that they are the voices of the millions of voters who have voted them to represent them in the JS. My reading of the situation is that our MPs are more involved in other activities than law making.

It is sad to note that the ruling party, which enjoys absolute majority in parliament, has no control over its MPs, as far as attending the JS is concerned. Honourable MPs are reminded that it is their duty to attend parliament regularly and to take interest in the proceedings.

Maybe,newspapers should publish the names of MPs who are not attending the JS regularly so that we, the voters, can learn what is going on.
