This comes before any legislative duty like the oversight of Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
One major way to achieve this is by sponsoring bills and motions and also the implementation of constituency projects. Most lawmakers take pride in the number of bills, motions and constituency projects executed to uplifted members of their constituency during their tenure and many who seek re-election use it as a campaign point.
