Chimis did a very commendable job without degree qualification and exposure. And Chimis never did shy away from Cameras. Whatever it is they are still learning and let us hope for the best. If there is not much progress then we the people have the power to choose the best candidate who will conduct well like the OL and his friend.

Their Dranam and drangdem is long gone after the election and on top of that there is no way that the NA members would ask questions to their own party minister. The Only work the members of NA and Ministers would do is just do the opposition leaders work by attacking the opposition leader. I personally want the NC members to keep on calling the ministers for question and answer session. If needed I would even like you to request the prime minister and the Opposition leader for q and A session. By the way the NA members said it is a wastage to have live telecast specially for BBS. I would like to remind that they are wasting more money by having the national assembly because if they want to do it without live telecast then they can have the national assembly in their office in Languphakha. DPT please remember that during his Majestys time there was no live telecast because during that time most of the members were illitrate and they are like Dasho Tshering Penjo and Dasho Pasang Thinlry who just uses their mouth so that time the government felt usesless to have such live telecast. But now the present members were qualified and we ellected them and the government should not Ban live coverage just for the emmbrasment for Pasa thinley and tshering Penjor Dear Sonam G

Nothing wrong in getting written answers, after all they just want answers to their queries. nc act says, it can be answered in written or oral. so why is nc harping in personal presence? doesn't it sound fishy? on the other hand, whats wrong in attending nc session and answer it orally? after all, they are accountable to parliament. So, in nutshell it is just a ego clashes!!!Each wants to give their superiority impression to the public! Its noting but ego clashes between nc and ministers!!!
