The party wishes to take this opportunity to state in unambiguous terms that the work of a member of Parliament involves the passage of legislation, oversight responsibilities over the executive and representing the constituency in Parliament.
The party wishes to inform its numerous members and sympathizers across the country that it has become necessary for all our 137 members of Parliament to be present in Parliament at all times to perform duties that are extremely of importance to the nation and their constituencies, hence their unavailability to be in the constituencies at regular times as used to be the case.
Members are also to take note that the opening of the period for campaign activities for the party’s internal elections are not yet due. Any member who jumps the gun could face sanctions including the possibility of being disqualified from contesting when the time comes.”
They however called on all party members to desist from such or any activity that will bring the name of the party to disrepute.
