Our communist leaders were found comparing the Parliament with a meat shop, where dog meat is being sold by showing a goat’s head. Indeed, looking at the performance of the huge House of Representatives, which is feeding the MPs without work, it is true. Even the speaker and some honest MPs blame the government that it failed to give business. There are many bills to amend the existing laws but they have never been approved.

The democratically elected government is always trying to escape the House and is interested in issuing ordinances in particular political party’s interests. Why we needed such a huge parliament with 275 MPs—165 directly elected and 110 elected through the proportion election, plus 59 National Assembly members – we don’t know. However, they hardly get work to do. Even if they get work, they don’t work seriously, instead, follow the party’s instructions and the party in the government is controlled by powerful brokers. Important laws approved by the House have thus become controversial. It seems the parliamentarians are no more than a rubber stamp.

We can read interesting comments on different social networks. One comment was that our parliament has turned into a senior citizens’ club, which is functionless and worthless. To a higher extent, it seems true by looking at the performance of Parliament.

The government is not doing good work always but the House of Representatives is just watching the government activities silently. Corruption and other crimes have become common in the governance but Parliament is unable to bring strong laws to control such anomalies. The partisan politics and policy corruption have destroyed the entire government structures but the MPs are helpless. Sometimes, we feel, the government can function even in the absence of the House. All the cooperatives are not bad and they are smoothly operating. However, a narrative that cooperatives are cheaters has been developed. Until now, different commissions have been formed to address the cooperative’s problem and these commissions have submitted good reports but the government is reluctant to resolve the cooperative problem as leaders belonging to different political parties are involved in the cooperative fraud. A parliamentary committee is now busy investigating the cooperative’s fraud but why the parliament doesn’t endorse a strong law against those who misuse the cooperatives’ funds, is surprising. It is because the government is controlled by the Mafias and the government controls parliament. If political parties perform honestly, all the problems can be resolved without delay.
