Mr President, we hear you, but...

His take is that Members of Parliament (MPs) should be taking proactive steps to ask relevant Ministers questions outside Parliament and duly get their answers on the spot. That sounds great Mr President.

But, considering that legislators serve the people, they will always find it suitable to raise questions in the August House fully knowing that their constituents are watching and listening. As a former MP yourself, Mr President, you know fully well that the people have a way of measuring the performance of their MPs’ participation in parliamentary debates. Some of the questions raised by MPs normally come from their constituents, they claim. It is also believed that once a question is raised in Parliament that could in a way put pressure on the relevant ministry or department to deliver promptly.
