Najat Aoun most politically active MP in Lebanese parliament, report says
Change MP Najat Aoun is the most politically active representative in the Lebanese parliament, Gherbal Initiative -- a non-profit civil company that aims to make political data visually accessible to the public -- said in a report.
Five other Change MPs are within the top 10 in terms of political activity in submitting questions and inquiries to various governments, Gherbal Initiative said.
MP Halimé El Kaakour is the 2nd most active, the report said, while MPs Ibrahim Mneimneh (4th place), Mark Daou (6th place), Yassine Yassine (7th place) and Paula Yacoubian (9th place) all submitted questions and inquiries far exceeding the number recorded by the rest of the political blocs per year.
The top 10 also includes the following members of parliament: Elie Keyrouz of the Lebanese Forces (fifth place), Fouad Makhzoumi (eighth place), George Okais of the Lebanese Forces (tenth place).
As for law proposals, the picture is completely different. Amal Movement submitted 554 law proposals, the largest number of proposed laws, followed by the Future Movement, the Free Patriotic Movement, the Progressive Socialist Party, and the Lebanese Forces.
"When evaluating productivity in regard to submitting law proposals, Progressive Socialist Party MP Bilal Abdullah ranks first, followed by Change MP Paula Yacoubian, and then Lebanese Forces MP George Okais, followed by Change MPs Elias Jarade and Firas Hamdan," Gherbal Initiative said.
