Why we need to monitor our Elected Representatives (ER’s)

2

Steady decline in the quality of governance in the last three decades

Growing frustration amongst citizens Elections – the only time when citizens get a

‘real’ say Looking at the growing deficiency in governance

and the increasing needs of the citizens We believe there is a need for a continuous

dialogue with the ER’s and have developed a report card on the Performance of the ER’s

which can form the basis of such a Dialogue

We believe there is a need for a continuous dialogue with the ER’s and have developed a report card on the Performance of the ER’s

which can form the basis of such a Dialogue

The Constitution as a Basis for monitoring of Elected Representatives

ERs derive their powers for functioning through

the Constitution

They are mandated to Attend Sessions, Raise

people’s Issues, Debate, Participate in

Discussions and Pass legislations.

The Constitution defines their powers and rules of

functioning, hence only the Constitution can

provide the parameters for their monitoring.
