The last 3-4 years of our national Assembly members in the upper and lower chamber and how they have mediocritically brought abysmal results and throw away people oriented programs and policies has forced us to reminiscent on how our representative at the national levels were produced by our dear party.  There is no gainsaying that our esteemed youths have shown uttermost lo
