The House of Representatives yesterday said that its members were facing undue pressure from their constituents over-high expectations. The House said that members were developing various ailments and dying as a result of the pressure.
The House, represented by its Spokesman, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, spoke on a day it adjourned plenary for one day in honour of its fallen member, Hon. Ossy Prestige who until his death on Sunday represented Aba North/Aba South Federal Constituency of Abia State. Kalu at a press conference shortly after the adjournment of the plenary was responding to a question from Journalists of why the report of most investigative hearings by the House never saw the light of day and whether the members compromised in the reports. He said that there was no compromise, stressing that it was wrong for Nigerians to reason in that direction. According to him, Nigerians had mistaken the functions of the Executive arm to be the duties of the legislature, as it wasn’t the job of the parliament to implement the resolution and build social infrastructure but to make laws for the country.
