Senator Natasha has responded forcefully to recent remarks made by Senator Karimi, calling for a new measure that would require regular drug tests for all lawmakers. The call comes in the wake of an ongoing controversy surrounding alleged misconduct in government circles.
Senator Natasha, a vocal advocate for accountability and transparency, stated, "It’s time for lawmakers to lead by example. If we’re going to demand integrity from others, we must ensure that we are held to the highest standards of conduct ourselves. Drug testing should be a standard procedure for those in power, just as it is for employees in many other industries."
This call follows recent tensions between the two senators, with Karimi making public comments that many in the political community have found troubling. Natasha’s statement is a direct rebuttal to those comments, signaling her commitment to restoring public trust in elected officials.
Senator Natasha's proposal calls for routine drug testing for all elected officials, which she argues will ensure that lawmakers are fit to serve and represent the public interest. "We are entrusted with the responsibility of making critical decisions for our country," she continued. "Our constituents deserve to know that their representatives are making decisions with a clear and focused mind."
The proposed legislation would include random drug tests and mandatory screenings following any allegations of misconduct or unprofessional behavior. Natasha further emphasized that drug testing for lawmakers could serve as an important step in addressing concerns over corruption, improving public confidence, and promoting a culture of accountability.
