Marlin said earlier this week he checked with the Council of Advice to see if they submitted their advice of the draft amendment on the civil code which is to curb the abuse of the short term contracts but he was surprised to learn that while the council of advice heard of the piece of legislation they are yet to receive it.
Marlin said he contacted the General Secretary of Parliament Josef Semeleer for an explanation as to why the draft amendment was not sent over to the Council of Advice and the general secretary informed him that the document has to pass through the central committee before it can go to the Council of Advice.
Currently, parliament is on recess. However, the leader of the National Alliance said he intends to send an official letter to the Chairlady and General Secretary as soon as Parliament resumes.
Marlin it made clear that each and every Member of Parliament has his or her right to submit legislations and if those legislations have to go to the Central Committee then that would stifle the faction or Member of Parliament who submitted the legislation.
