Parliamentarians found guilty of sub-letting or carrying on commercial activities in their government-accommodations should be stripped of their entitlement for government-accommodations.
THIS REFERS to media-reports about a number of parliamentarians’ unauthorisedly renting out portions of their government-accommodations while many others are using the same for illegal commercial activities.
Parliamentarians should be role-models for ordinary citizens in obeying the law and order of the nation. As such there should be exemplary punishment for those Parliamentarians who disobey established norms and rules including those relating to government-accommodations available to Parliamentarians. Parliamentarians found guilty of sub-letting or carrying on commercial activities in their government-accommodations should be stripped of their entitlement for government-accommodations, even though it will be best to strip those erring even from their official posts.
.Can we expect the LS & RS speakers to debar such members who are guilty of misconduct .Because the member is indulging in this corrupt practice while occupying a house that has been sublet or used for commercial practice, it can be contrued by all logic that such misconduct took place inside the house hence the punishment should be emoval of membership either temporary or permanent. A punishment of permanent nature will have deterrant effect.
