Sometimes some MPs suggest random and illogic legal ideas or bills that undermine the parliament’s position and raises questions on its role regarding citizens and the state. The parliament is the legislative authority of the country and is considered the third branch of the government. Major decisions should be forwarded to parliament for discussion prior to the president’s ratification and after the cabinet’s approval. Daily News Egypt spoke to political analysts and sought their comment on such suggestions and whether introducing such legislations would impact the parliament’s credibility or not. These bills made it unclear whether the parliament’s role is to regulate the state law, achieve citizens’ demands, or interfere and put restriction in people’s personal life.
