Attendance of the House of Representatives back into the spotlight. Usually the spotlight on this Council lazy behavior appears at the end of the period. This time it was really outrageous, bad behavior is actually shown at the beginning of the period.
Plenary session was postponed because of the presence of members of Parliament minimal and no decision was taken because no quorum. Not only in plenary meetings, in committee meetings was the attendance of members was minimal.
Parliament was lazy. The issue is very serious, do not be ignored, let alone considered mere administrative technical problems. Yes, the performance of the Parliament not only measured by the attendance, but attendance was the beginning of the process and a more substantial assessment.
Aspirations and interests of the community who are absorbed his representative can be formulated so the policy only if the representative is physically present and involved fighting and formulate it in various forums in the Parliament session. Attendance is also very important because the decision on a policy is determined members present, otherwise the decision can not be taken if the numbers do not meet minimal due to the presence of the quorum requirement.
That is, the effectiveness of the performance of the Parliament strongly influenced the attendance. The more lazy members of the House, certainly a bad performance and low productivity. The substance of the limelight and public criticism of the lazy behavior of members of the House precisely because of the low performance and productivity of the Parliament.
If the word in the first year the House has completed a large number of laws that have been prioritized in the year 2010, and implementation of other functions optimally, this may not questioned about the absence of seheboh now.
This happens because the public furor was disappointed, hurt, hate, and sick of seeing the behavior of members of Parliament who are lazy, while performing poorly. Supervision is not considered effective, the function of more severe legislation. For the function of the budget, the House looks keen only when fighting for the aspirations of USD 15 billion fund for their own political interests.
People still unfortunate. Some committed suicide, unable to live a Herculean, son hanged himself because he can not school. Not to mention that every day there are people dying due to explosion of gas cylinders should be immediately discontinued if the Parliament firmly against the government.
Contempt Council
Numerous factions and leaders of public criticism of the House responded by bringing up a new proposal. For example, using fingerprint attendance lists and withholding allowances if not present.
I considered that the proposal the expression of panic when public criticism came a barrage because if the proposal is listened and digested, in fact it is the abuse of institutional members of parliament.
Suggested the use of fingerprints to show how confidence in the integrity and honor of a member of the humiliated. The problem is implicitly to say that all members of Parliament are not honest or a liar because it is necessary to detect honesty through the fingerprints. The idea of withholding allowances too. Parliament lowered the degree of money: work if there is money.
In fact, the regulation that supports the enforcement of discipline and the House is sufficient enough to cause kejeraan effective when applied. Law Number 27 Year 2009 regarding the MPR, DPR, DPRD, and DPD.
(Act MD3) of Article 127 Paragraph (1) subsection (c) mandates, the National Honor (BK) did not investigate members who attended the plenary meeting, another meeting fittings over six times in a row for no apparent reason. They may be dismissed as a member of Parliament.
Construction of this article is a clear sign that there is no tolerance for members of Parliament who are lazy. DPR problem now is not the lack of regulations governing the sanctions against members of the Board of disciplinary action. However, a matter of personal commitment of each member of the weak: not able to distinguish the time for personal affairs with the affairs of the Board, the private interests with the interests of the people represented.
Unfortunately, BK should be the disciplinarian in fact busy with their own problems. A number of complaints related to disciplinary issues, allegations of corruption and other problems that allegedly violate any code of conduct has not been processed because the meeting failed to reach quorum BK. BK barren role as leader of the House let the internal conflict was protracted.
Challenge House
Bad experience in the first year this should not happen in subsequent years. House leaders to take immediate concrete steps. First, the fraction shall report the performance of its members, including the matter of discipline to the public, this is in line with the mandate of the Act MD3 (Article 80 Paragraph 2) and the Rules of Procedure (Article 18 Paragraph 6).
Second, BK internal problems to be resolved so that enforcement of internal discipline is running, give strict punishment to members of violating. Third, all agenda-related affairs of the Board members must be accessible to the public can assess the performance of its members as well as public accountability.
Build awareness and mental discipline of members of parliament also the responsibility of political parties because parties who recruit, develop, and offer kadernya to selected communities.
Parties also have an important role to control the House of Representatives member for the House of Representatives a bad mirror image of the party which is also bad, and vice versa. Parties should compete to show who has a cadre of integrity, competence, and discipline in the House of Representatives. If not, the image of the party image of the Parliament deteriorated and collapsed.
