The recent hearings in the House of Representatives have raised serious concerns about the treatment of resource persons during questioning. Witnesses have reported instances of shouting and intimidation when their answers do not align with the lawmakers’ expectations. This aggressive approach not only compromises the integrity of the inquiry process but also discourages open dialogue and transparency.
Creating an environment where individuals may fear retaliation for providing honest responses, further skewing the legislative process. Advocates for reform are calling for more respectful and impartial questioning to restore credibility to the House.
Ensuring that resource persons can provide their insights without fear of intimidation is essential for a functioning democracy. As discussions continue, it is crucial for the House to address these concerns and foster a more respectful atmosphere in legislative inquiries.
Recent hearings in the House of Representatives have raised alarm over lawmakers seemingly favoring drug lords over their victims. This perception of bias is fueled by instances where resource persons are treated with aggression and intimidation if their testimonies contradict the prevailing narrative favored by certain legislators.
Such behavior not only undermines the credibility of the legislative process but also highlights a troubling trend of prioritizing the interests of powerful individuals over the voices of those affected by drug-related crimes.
