KABUL - Members of Parliament criticized the National Unity Government leaders who, in their words, have shown a lack of leadership by delaying the announcement of the remaining ministerial nominees for the cabinet, claiming that with an incomplete government the MPs have no work.

Many of the MPs have described the Parliament as a "cold environment," as several of them do not show up for work because there is no agenda.

During their Monday session, MPs called on the government to begin acting as leaders and review the needs of the people, threats, poverty, and unemployment otherwise the gap between the people and the government will only grow.

"I would like to ask all the MPs: do we have a government?" Kandahar MP Abdul Rahim Ayoubi exclaimed. "The president is in Saudi Arabia, the CEO in India...someone please tell me what is the House of Representatives for?"

The promises made by both NUG leaders have left the public and the MPs unsatisfied and enraged that in the past several months since the formation of the government nothing has changed.

"We must solve the problems ourselves," Kabul MP Ramazan Bashardost said. "We must bring the reforms ourselves. They need to understand that we need to solve our own problems first."

Not having a specific agenda to discuss, the Minister of Refuges and Repatriates came to Parliament without being summoned by the House to discuss his recent trip to Pakistan. (Tolonews)
