The government is planning to establish a few constituency offices for the Member of the Parliament (MP) as per the needs. At the recent Friday meet, Prime Minister Dr Lotay Tshering said it is impossible to have the MPs stationed in their respective constituencies as pledged during the campaign.
During the election campaign, the Druk Nyamrup Tshogpa (DNT) pledged that their candidates will stay in their own constituencies for proper public service delivery.
“The candidates are the representatives of their own constituency. We have a plan to have them working from their constituency. But for now, that is not our priority. We are still working on it. We will implement the plan whenever appropriate,” Prime Minister said.
He said the establishment of constituency offices will be need-based.
” We will see which constituency requires an office. We will look into how far the place is from Thimphu and how frequently we will be able to meet the people. For now, it is impossible to build an office for every constituency.”
He added the party did not get an opportunity to explain this clearly during their campaign.
