FARAKHABAR: Absenteeism Of Parliament Members Discussed
Mir Rahman Rahmani, speaker of the Wolesi Jirga (House of Representatives), said that more than a hundred bills are unresolved due to carelessness and absent MPs.
Sources say that most of the MPs devote themselves to business enterprises or political deal-making and that is why they are not present in the assembly.
Citizens complain that most members of parliament have failed in their responsibilities to legislate, provide oversight and to serve in the public interest.
In this episode, host Wahid Ahmadi discusses the topic with Khan Agha Rezaee, parliament member, and Gul Ahmad Madadzai, deputy head of Afghanistan's Lawyers Union.
