Opens for first time today, closed for 10 days Thursday, 21 November 2024 02:38 PM

Why the close for ten days, after 10th Parliament first opened today. Is this another 'tradition', of inefficiency?

No!!?? Some feel that for every move, in a Democracy, there is bad Tradition and cause for Inefficiency!!?? This is to permit the new team to get together and formulate the New Governments’ Budget for forthcoming Year 2025, which has to be Presented to Parliament by the finance minister, which then has to be debated and approved by Majority of members and becomes the controlling Instrument of the Finances of the country by Legislature!!?? Perhaps, one would remember that the PM, lamented there was no Budgetary Provision for Increase in Public Service Wages, come January and this is the Budget Instrument that allocates those FUNDS!!?? This is NO time allocated for inefficiency by any means, though it's a 'Tradition' of any Participatory Democracy!!??

They just came in and formed a new government. Work has barely started and the results are yet to be seen. Already taking so many days off? I wish my job would let me do that!

Elected to Parliament and nearly two weeks off after the first day Friday, 22 November 2024 06:31 AM

Public in regular jobs don't get paid to take breaks after first day, why is that MPs get to do it? Feels the new MPs are having too easy a life. Was it the unnecessary pomp and ceremony of the first day that made them need such an adjournment. Simpler the opening day, then should be less need for long breaks like what is happening. The Opposition MPs too are enjoying themselves with this break at public expense, since they will just warm seats and achieve next to nothing for next few years too.
