Member of Parliament for Komenda/Edina/Eguafo/Abrem, Samuel Atta-Mills has said he does not know the reason behind the rush to bring Members of Parliament back to the House whiles on recess.
According to Komenda/Edina/Eguafo/Abrem legislator in a meeting the focus is all on Parliamentary work.
He further added as the representative of the people, “we need to get some time back to our constituents go round and find out what they are thinking, some of the things that we can do for them”.
In an interview he lamented over the cost it would take on the MP and on government for them to come back for a week and pointed out that he hopes whatever they are coming to do would be fruitful.
As to whether in a meeting the House manages its time well, he responded and said there is indiscipline in all aspect of the country “that is worrying” he remarked.
“Look at how people don’t want to follow rules, our government offices, people show up when they want to show up to work, some of the secretaries in these Ministries, when you go there they are not at their desk they are rather selling under wares and shirts from office to office”.
Mr. Samuel Atta-Mills noted that it is so disturbing that at the time that MPs are supposed to be in the chamber, they are not there, some of the reasons given by MPs is that there is a lot of demands on them.
“Everything that has to be done they look up to you in the constituency, roads, hospitals and electricity it is the MP, so what you do is you go from Ministry to Ministry on the request that you have taken out there”, he pointed out.
