Red flag over ministers’ conduct, truancy

THE performance of ministers in Parliament, particularly in the Senate, has been so dismal that senators have expressed concern over their “unbecoming” conduct.

The ministers have been accused of failing to respond to motions by legislators and for perennial truancy during Senate’s Thursday question-and-answer sessions.

On Thursday, December 1, all ministers, with the exception of Primary and Secondary Education minister Lazarus Dokora, failed to turn up in the Senate for the question-and-answer session.
