Oh former deputy, it is so easy to talk

A former MP wrote an article in the Al-Qabas daily to remind us of the importance of legislation and laws in any country, the need for their good formulation and content, and how many of our laws have suffered from defects due to the weakness of some people.
He added the constitutional and legal path that ensures the passage of legislation and laws through it lacks the correct institutional structure and the quality required in enacting the legislation to be adopted and implemented. Consequently, we all suffered and development was hampered by laws that are not elaborated upon.
The writer added that the government established the Integrity (Nazaha) Authority law, and amended it, and it remained flimsy. It also issued the Public Authority for Roads Transport law, but later withdrew some of the authority’s powers, not to mention the very old legislation that has not been amended.
He also said that it is necessary to develop methods of making and producing legislation and not leave it to the jurisprudence of some, and this requires assigning specialists to carry out the task of evaluating, studying and researching the texts of the laws to be issued, and reviewing what was previously approved while benefiting from foreign legislation and laws.
The writer ended by criticizing the performance of the Fatwa and Legislation Department, and its abandonment of its role in reviewing legislation and provided a package of advice to the government, and concluded his article with a famous saying by the French secular thinker Jean-Jacques Rousseau: ‘Good laws lead to the making of better ones; bad ones bring about worse’.
The author of the above text is not a farmer, or a trader, or even a former minister. But he is a former deputy with a license in law, an experienced lawyer, member of professional associations, an expert in judicial custody, and most importantly, his affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood.
The question is: What was the writer, former deputy “Mohammad Al-Dalal” doing for eight years in the Parliament and he had all this concern about the absence of all the above matters?
Why has he actually been unable to achieve even one of the dozens of dangerous and important matters that he mentioned above?
Why do our former ministers and deputies become so splendid, wise and aware of our problems as soon as they leave the executive or legislative position?
Did he not personally contribute and vote to approve some of the laws that he now complains of being weak and bad?
I may find an excuse for the former minister, if he was not able to achieve what he desired after leaving the ministry, given that the majority of our ministers are senior employees.
I may find an excuse for other deputies who did not contribute to presenting any bill because they are working alone. But what is the excuse for a deputy who is a lawyer and expert, and a member of a powerful parliamentary bloc? What prevented him from pursuing what he wished for instead of writing his wishes in an article?
