Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Congratulations, Shri Harivansh Narayan Singhji




For suggesting creation of a “ DISRUPTION  INDEX  “ for Members of Lok Sabha / State Legislative Assemblies


About time , too  !


Context :


In this conference, who said / suggested / recommended, what ?

[ A ]  Lok Sabha Speaker - Om Birla :


#   Uniform rules for all Assemblies and Parliament

#   Legislatures should not be reduced to arenas of political slug-fest

#   They are temples of democracy to raise issues related to people

#   Giving chance to all parties to participate and take them along.


[ B ]  Rajya Sabha deputy chairman, Harivansh Narayan Singh :

#   Maintain a DISRUPTION INDEX to track whether or not the members have allowed the
     House to run smoothly.

#  Live telecast may be cut off for some time if a member frequently indulges in disruption
    in the House


[ C ] Rajasthan assembly speaker,  C P Joshi
      [  cpjoshi.mp@sansad.nic.in  ]

#   Performance of a legislative body should not be counted only on the basis of the number
     of bills passed.

#   How many hours were spent discussing legislation ?

#   Are we able to move from a parliamentary democracy to a participative democracy ?


[ D ]  Punjab Assembly speaker,  Ajaib Singh Bhatti
       [  bhattiajaibsingh@gmail.com  ]

#   “ Differences and Dissent ” formed the “ basic spirit of democracy ”

#   Framework to reduce wastage of time in Zero Hour


#   A “ CODE OF CONDUCT “ for lawmakers.


[ E ]  Presiding officer from Karnataka,  Vishweshwar Hegde
       [  kageri1250@gmail.com  ]

#   At least 60% attendance should be mandatory, 


[ F ]  Former parliamentary affairs secretary,  Afzal Amanullah,
      [  rerabihar@gmail.com ]

#  There is no need for any additional mechanism to control disruptions.

Question :

How will the proposed DISRUPTION INDEX , lead to a better PERFORMANCE of our legislators ?

Unless, this INDEX is linked to a VARIABLE PAY for the legislators , using following formula which I had proposed in my following email to Cabinet Ministers :

[ source :   Artificial Intelligence to fix MP / MLA Salary ? /  22 Feb 2018  ]


MVP % = { ( IPF ) - ( INF ) }  X   EPD   
                          ECE

Where,

Internal Positive  Factor      ( IPF )

Internal Negative Factor     ( INF )

External Public Domain       ( EPD )

External Citizen Evaluation ( ECE )


The amount of  MONTHLY  VARIABLE  SALARY  payable to each MP / MLA will be computed  based on a  PERCENTILE SCORE  of the MP / MLA , among the entire population and made to vary between :


·         0 %  of the Basic Salary , for a score of less than 33 percentile



·         25 % of the Basic Salary , for score between 33 and  66  percentile



·         50 % of the Basic Salary , for score above 66 percentile

=========================================================

Dear Shri Pralhad V Joshiji,


[ Minister for Parliamentary Affairs ]




I urge you to consider my above-mentioned suggestion which , not only will improve the performance of our MPs and MLAs, but also bring about a much desired transparency
