JS performance, activities to be enhanced: Chief whip

Chief Whip of the Jatiya Sangsad (JS) Nurul Islam has said the government remains committed to building a stronger democratic system by enhancing parliamentary activities and performance, reports UNB.

He said a data-driven parliamentary assessment would be undertaken to analyse legislative processes and institutional functions, which would help reinforce democratic governance in Bangladesh in the future.

"The government is determined to establish a robust democratic system through strengthening parliamentary activities," the Chief Whip said during a courtesy meeting with a delegation from the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) at his office in the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban on Wednesday.

He noted that the election of a significant number of new MP in the 13th JS has made it increasingly important to provide the necessary support to further improve the effectiveness of parliamentary activities.
