Disruptive rulers

The behaviour of our seasoned parliamentarians calls for a lot of grooming. It seems as if they are bent on halting the smooth functioning of affairs in the National Assembly, even when it comes to matters of national importance. A parliamentarian must keep the national interest above all personal propensities and proclivities.

By creating unnecessary hindrances in the smooth functioning of legislation and state affairs, the parliamentarians are only acting in their own vested interests, not the national interest. Our parliamentarians should assure everyone that they and their party will prioritize matters of public interest in parliament. They must also offer cooperation to the government on all matters of national importance.
