CONSTITUENCY OFFICE/PROJECTS AS CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY


CONSTITUENCY OFFICE/PROJECTS AS CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Society is dynamic due to the inevitability of human progress.  Centuries ago man lived in caves, but now in skyscrapers.  Human development arose from man’s quest to overcome common environmental challenges.  These concerns and attempts to conquer and dominate his environment has in the course of time become habitual, conventional and rules  that are now binding not only on humans but also on various traditional, statutory and private corporate institutions.
There was a time, using the early Greek model government was a symbol of representation of the people. Today modern government is composed of three arms: executive, legislature and the judiciary.  Although they work in unison for the security and welfare of the people, members of the three arms act according to the provisions of the constitution.
The legislators use constituency office/projects to enhance thorough and quality representation due to the diverse nature, culture, language and geographical terrain of the people. And this appears logical because legislators are composed of various people’s representatives. They answer questions as to the security and welfare of  their constituents and direct government attention to their plights.
Since it is safe to say that government is responsible for developments in all constituencies, these days no legislator can ignore the engagement of citizens, creating of employment and other development activities in his/her constituency as a way of corporate social responsibility.  There may be no constitutional provision of sanction but guess what, there would be unexplainable moral burden on any legislator, his/her sponsors/parties that fail this corporate social responsibility activities.
No doubt constituency office/projects as corporate social responsibility possesses valuable right convertible to votes.
