No work, yet full pay!
Your front page reports of June 3 on "JS boycott" and "Unholy race" should make the MPs concerned ashamed. Is this the example of moral standard they are setting for the country's youth? Elsewhere, hardworking low-paid workers are toiling in unsafe garment factories and other industries, where "no work, no pay" is the accepted norm. Such waste of national revenue needs to be stopped. MPs should also be governed by the "no work no pay" rule, like many of their voters. To earn the full month's remuneration, an MP has to be present in the JS at least eighty percent of the days the assembly is in session.
This can now be easily programmed with electronic swipe cards, so that the full record of an MP's coming to and leaving the house can be maintained.
