Only four of the 30 MPs asked to leave their NAM flats have responded to the letters sent by the committee in May. But, one month later, chief whip ASM Feroz told bdnews24.com that only ‘eight to ten MPs’ have responded to the letter. An initial list compiled by the parliamentary committee found 91 MPs did not live in their allotted flats, but used them to house servants, personal secretaries or drivers. On Jul 26 last year, letters had been delivered to lawmakers who had been allotted flats but did not use them. After speaking to members of the parliamentary committee and some of the MPs involved, it was found that some of the MPs had responded in writing to the letters and had then met the parliamentary committee to discuss the issue.
