What are our MPs thinking of?

There seems to be something seriously wrong with our current crop of MPs. They have totally lost the plot and seem to be oblivious of this fact. What on earth are they planning to do with all that money they have alloted themselves in the name of new increased mileage rates? And how on earth do they justify their decision to increase the funds available to their constituency development funds? These are people who only traverse the country for the sake of their parties' politics and not in the interest of development.

The sad thing is these legislators have been elected by people of sound mind. People like me and you. They promised mountains and delivered rubble. Like them or hate them, they are here to stay,at least until the next polls. Even if they are voted out, the next bunch that comes in will certainly not be any better if past experience is anything to go by.

But that should not stop the populace from voting them out. They should be kicked out. They have even brazenly gone ahead to increase their constituency development fund kitties without even batting an eyelid. The MPs it seems, cannot see beyond their paunches.
