Interests fought, capitalism fought, and consciences were absent in order to win the parliamentary seat, and the voter's aspiration to find someone to represent him and be the tongue of his own and express his demands under the dome of Parliament, but the phenomenon of deputies disappearing from public sessions, the disappearance of their representatives from their constituencies, the closure of their offices in these departments, and the change of numbers Their phones or switching them off, was like the knife with which they cut the silk thread between the people of these departments, and they became deputies outside the scope of service.
In this context, Muhammad Badr, the founder of the “Watch a Deputy” campaign, said that the phenomenon of the disappearance of parliamentarians from under the parliamentary dome is something that provokes the voter, who gave his vote to the deputy so that he would be the mouthpiece of his case in the House of Representatives.
Badr added, in statements to "The Journal of Egypt", that the campaign detected a not a few who closed their offices in their departments, charitable clinics and their phones, in addition to that some of them changed their phone numbers, and the most dangerous of this is that some of them registered their phone numbers wrongly, and others did not register their numbers. Faithfully the council.
Badr indicated that such actions confirm that the main goal of these deputies is to achieve personal interest and what they will gain from their membership in the council, without considering the interest of the voter who voted for them, and was the reason for their winning the parliamentary seat.
The founder of the “Watch a Deputy” campaign spotted a number of deputies - describing them as their concern only to obtain a seat in parliament - and among those deputies: Dr. Mustafa Kamal al-Din Hussein, for the Qaliubiya district, who closed his charitable clinic as soon as he won the elections, and disappeared from his district and was not seen by his people. The constituency so far, nor its representatives who were in the constituency throughout the election period, and MP Abdel Fattah Muhammad Abdel Fattah Yahya, and MP Ibrahim Abdel-Wahhab Mohi El-Din Abu Ahmed for the first district of Alexandria Park.
Representative Ibrahim Abdel Aziz Muhammad Ismail is independent from the Kafr El Sheikh constituency, the Hamoul district did not register his phone number in the council, and Representative Ibtisam Ibrahim ran the elections on a list, and only registered her office number, and it became difficult for the voter to communicate with her, and Representative Abu Bakr Ali Abu Bakr, Badrashin Center did not He registered his phone number with the General Secretariat of the Council, and Representative Ahmed Abdel Tawab Mohamed Abdel Jalil, Tamiya Al-Fayyoum Police Station, there are no telephone directory numbers for him by the deputies, as well as Representative Osama Ahmed Muhammad Metwally Lotfy, he did not leave his phone number.
"Badr" added that the strange thing is that all of these people are in places other than the one they are supposed to be in, where he sees the deputy at weddings, the opening of facilities and on special occasions for officials.
For his part, Mahmoud Badawi, the coordinator of the Raqib Ya Masry campaign, said that it was expected that some deputies would disappear from the parliament sessions, especially with the presence of deputies landing in parachutes on districts that are not closely related to their problems or their people, and then we are surprised by their disappearance as soon as they win the parliamentary seat, preferring to be near From the authority and the executive bodies, seeking the interests that come from behind the consolidation of relations with them.
Badawi criticized, in exclusive statements to "The Journal of Egypt," the decision to prevent the broadcasting of the sessions, considering it as isolating the citizen from the voter, especially since it is the only means that the voter has to evaluate the performance of the deputy and his ability to represent him in parliament, calling on the parliament speaker to agree to broadcast the sessions once Another, not to placate the deputies or force them to attend, but to achieve popular oversight over the deputies.
The coordinator of the campaign, Monitor Ya Masri, believes that the speaker of the parliament must take several punitive measures with the legislative powers he possesses to deter these deputies, expecting that with the implementation of punitive measures, the representatives of the media network with empty content will disappear with them, and the representatives will remain concerned with citizen issues and have a desire to reform the homeland .
Dr. Walaa Jad, President of the Partners for Transparency Foundation, said that there is a noticeable disappearance of parliament deputies. Even the Speaker of Parliament, Dr. Ali Abdel-Al, referred to this phenomenon in one of the sessions that the voting rate ranged from 350 to 450 votes out of 596 votes, which is incomprehensible. .
In exclusive statements to "The Journal of Egypt", Gad attributed the phenomenon of deputies 'disappearance to the decision taken by Dr. Abdel-Al, Speaker of Parliament, to prevent direct broadcasts of the sessions, pointing out that the MPs' keenness to be present in front of television cameras was clear in empty words, strange behavior and fabricated clashes. , Represented in the oath of divorce, placing posters on their mouths in protest against not taking the word, and waving hands for their families when the cameras are shining on them, and others fabricated crises just to appear in front of the cameras, as if their presence in Parliament is not for the sake of performing a national duty, but for the sake of fame.
The president of the Partners Foundation for Transparency believes that the council’s list prepared must address the legal deficiency of this aspect, define mechanisms by which representatives will attend the majority of the sessions, and set punitive measures for the representative in one way or another requiring him to attend a certain quorum from the sessions as a categorical remedy for their disappearance from the sessions. Parliament.
