HIBAPRESS – Rabat
The oral question session of the House of Representatives today witnessed noticeable tension after a number of MPs caused a commotion due to the absence of some ministers from the hall, which prompted the session chairman to try to calm the atmosphere and restore order.
Amid this charged atmosphere, overlapping voices rose expressing dissatisfaction with the repetition of the phenomenon and its impact on the quality of parliamentary debate and governmental responsibility in interacting with the questions of the nation's representatives. In the midst of this chaos, parliamentarian Mohammed Simmo intervened with a firm tone, addressing a number of MPs, calling for avoiding what he described as empty discussions that waste parliamentary time. Simmo confirmed that such practices do not serve legislative and supervisory work, adding in an expressive tone that the continuation of unproductive debate "has gotten on our nerves" and that MPs should not stay until midnight without practical benefit.
