Members of Parliament
The House of Representatives, which is also known as the Lower House, is one of the two Houses of Jamaica's Parliament. It is made up of 63 elected individuals who are called Members of Parliament (MPs).
The Constitution gives these MPs the power to make laws for peace, order and good governance of Jamaica. They have broad oversight functions and are therefore empowered to establish committees from its members to scrutinize bills, the spending and performance of public institutions, as well as the conduct of public officials.
The 63 MPs act as a bridge between the community and the Government by ensuring that the needs and concerns of their constituents are heard and addressed in the Parliament.
