APC, PDP Reps Clash Over Amaechi by tolexy007(m): 3:17pm On Feb 12, 2016 |
The All Progressives Congress members of the House of Representatives clashed with their Peoples Democratic Party colleagues on Thursday over the Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi. Amaechi appeared before the joint Committee on Marine/Land Transport to defend the 2016 budget proposals of the ministry, but the lawmakers tried to turn the session into a venue for political party supremacy battle. The APC members, who control the majority of 213, out of the 360-member legislature, felt that the former Rivers State governor deserved some protection from the committee, as he came under a barrage of questions. The APC lawmakers complained that too many questions were being thrown at the minister. However, some PDP members suddenly flared up, arguing that the minister could be asked any question. The PDP were led by Mr. Pat Asadu (Enugu State) and Mr. Nnana Igbokwe (Imo State). The development came as the House Committee on Aviation rejected a proposal by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority to spend N130m this year to conduct a security audit on the nation’s airports. The Chairperson of the committee, Mrs. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, recalled that in 2015, a similar proposal was submitted by the agency. She said, “I can see you people have brought this matter of security audit again, and I remember querying it last year. “How can you spend this much on the airports even when 22 out of the 32 airports are shut down with no operation going on whatsoever? The committee expressed its dissatisfaction with the performance of the capital projects of the NCAA, rating them as “below average.” But the Director-General of NCAA, Capt. Mukhtar Usman, informed the committee that the agency improved on the training of personnel to meet global standards. Similarly, the Committee on Foreign Relations declined to approve a proposal by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to spend N9bn for connectivity projects to link Abuja with all foreign missions. http://www.punchng.com/apc-pdp-reps-clash-amaechi/ 2 Likes 1 Share

This is the problem with this country o! When will political affiliation give way to diligent oversight especially at this level? Unless the questions asked were clearly malicious but in as much as they are meant to ensure that this much ridiculed budget is justified and the custodians of each ministry can defend their budgets, I don't see why party membership and supremacy should come into play in exercises such as this unless of course the majority are seeking to preserve obvious areas of waste and leakage which still smacks of corruption they have supposedly come to fight. 33 Likes 1 Share |
