Perhaps, one of the key problems in lower house of the parliament is lack of professionalism. Large number of MPs only holds baccalaureate and some studied their bachelor after elected as representative in the parliament. While some others even did not bear that trouble and continued being representative with baccalaureate certificate. So, apart being in the parliament and listening to their fellows who have better academic qualification and listening to media, they did not have access to reliable source for furnishing their academic skills.
Thus, most of the time they behave with individuals introduced by Mr. President in key administrative and political positions unprofessionally and only raise red cards in rejection or green in approval. The contradiction in approval and disapproval of particular individuals during past years completely strengthen my statement. For example once the ministry of Interior was disqualified for not being able to cope with the security problems and later he got approval from the house of occupying the seat of defense ministry! No one asked them what miracle happened within few days he gained enough experience and academic qualification that qualified to run comparatively far important ministry.
Similar wrong decision made on Saturday, denying giving trust vote to three outgoing members of Independent Commission for Supervision of implementation of constitution. I do not know about Gul Rahman Qazi who is criticized for being too old and rather should retire and Mehboba Huqoqmal who was teacher in Kabul University, but Dr. Amin Ahmadi, Phd holder in philosophy a talented academician who is indisputably suitable for the position. But he failed to get trust vote perhaps without any reason.
First Vice-President Mohammad Yunus Qanuni on Saturday reintroduced ICOIC members Gul Rahman Qazi, Mehboba Huqoqmal and Dr. Mohammad Amin because their office terms had expired. Another two members of the commission Mohammad Munir Danish and Lotfur Rahman Saeed had received a vote of confidence from the assembly about one year ago.
Secondly, the decisions of MPs often showed that they do not act impartially. For example in the case of personal Sharia laws of Shiites which sparked serious criticisms, some Shiite females remained silent against the law arguing that it was their religious beliefs. The law which was seriously restricting women freedom did not summon enough opposition within the parliament as part of MPs remained neutral assuming that it was for a certain part of the community and did not belong to them.
Therefore, hope by the course of time and election of new and bright minds we surpass these problems and have committed and professional MPs who act only in line with national interests.
