Should Congress Be Reformed

When the purpose of a thing is not known , abuse is inevitable '- those are the words of internationally acclaimed writer , motivational speaker and President of Bahamas Faith Ministries International , Myles Munroe Naturally , when something is not fulfilling the very reason why it is established , there is need for appraisal and reformation
