200 SHAMEFUL MPs IN KENYAN PARLIAMENT.




kenyan parliament
NAIROBI: The spotlight has turned on at least 200 MPs who have neither filed a Bill nor a Motion in the august House for a full year, yet many of them were elected to do just that — make laws and represent their people in Parliament.
The county47watch
 has reviewed parliamentary records which show that even though the majority of MPs participate in debates, only 99 had made an attempt to file Bills in the House. Of these, just 15 lawmakers had managed to get Bills published with their name on it.
Still, only 50 MPs filed Motions in the House for debate on issues of concern to their people and to the country. The 200 MPs whose names are missing in the records of lawmakers who filed serious business in the House raises questions on whether it is prudent to have a House of 349 members where the majority are passengers riding on the backs of just 150 of their colleagues to do the thinking and the heavy-lifting.
