Mian Raza Rabbani NI Chairman Senate 3 Message from the Secretary Publishing Directory of Members of Parliament is a well- established practice in many countries of the world since this is a tool to provide information to the people about their representatives and facilitate the public in approaching their elected representatives. It also helps in keeping record and data about the members who had served the Parliament in different terms. In Pakistan, however, there is no set practice. The Senate of Pakistan for some period published the Directory of Members but the same discontinued on suspension of the Constitution and Senate. Since renewal in March, 2015, the Senate of Pakistan has undertaken many reforms and initiatives that will mark the current term as a distinguished period in the history of Pakistan, especially in the Senate's attempts to build a connection between the people and their elected representatives. Revival of publishing of the Directory of Members is another step in this direction. Despite all precautions on our part, there will still be room for improvement. We would appreciate user feedback and suggestions to improve further editions that may be uploaded on the Senate website or printed.
