“MPs cannot bring development. That is the role of the Executive wing of government at Central and Local Government.”
“MPs duty, in our system, is to pass laws and hold central government to account for the way it governs and manages resources.”
“What I don’t know is whether parliamentary candidates genuinely do not know these facts, or they choose to lie to constituents.”
“….wherever you go, the lament from citizens is that “we don’t see the MP”, but It’s not the MP’s face people want, it is the promised boreholes, bridges, dip tanks and roads.’

“One would have hoped a new generation of MPs would change a few things, but hey.”
