All future Reps running for office must be declared fit and able to run for office. There's way too many old and sick reps who have wasted tax payers money when they should give way to other able people who can represent the raakyat and not leave them in a quandary due to health reasons....am sure there's better and able people around....no offense but these choice of picking able and healthy folks must be considered in the future....my 2 cents on preventing unnecessary by-election due to lod ages....
