What are they doing instead? :-j
Once elected, they opt to go to the capital only to be seen 5 years later(election time)
I’m not sure how many MPs Mongu District council has.Is this a question of one MP not attending?Then speak to them through the right channel and not just waffle on the news.
Licences should not be the main provider of salaries as they are only collected periodically,please find more wealth generating projects like running Fish and rice farms.
Suspend them pliz and BA LT ITS violate not violet,check ur sikuwa pliz
This is not news. We are aware that MPs should attend these meetings. If they dont, you know what to do!
