This Dogara is such a silent operator criminal.

tchaik:
It is high time. I guess the Saraki situation made them to sit up. Even the so called amendment is not complete yet. The Tribunal should totally be under the Judiciary and not the Presidency.

The amendment moved it to the National Assembly. Moving it to the Judiciary is tantamount to having it within the Presidency.

texazzpete:



you must be joking.

This whole act is geared towards crippling those institutions (or at least ensuring that the Senators and Reps escape any censure by the CCB.

I hope Buhari vetoes this

I was expecting someone to talk about the independence of the judicgary. The legislators decided to transfered the power to appoint or replace from the executive to themselve there by controlling the judiciary. We should champion for the independence of the judiciary. The other amendment is not only for the legislators. It also include the executive and it officers.

Good move

Gang of fraudsters I pray May Allah to destroy all your evils plan. Amin

how? cant they have it under the NJC? the national assembly is really a problematic institution, better still make it independent like inec and cbn.

wetin national assembly know about law to be the one to decide the judge and his crew, if na njc now, e for better. we better start shouting now so pmb vetoes it and not just hope in vain, because I don't even trust that his agf(malami) for once, he is also having political interest with the way I see him.

Corrupt politicians always changing the rules to please themselves.

#IStandWithTheNass on this. Do same to EFCC, strengthen the commission and make it totally independent with the power to appoint officials vested in the Judiciary and the power to remove to them vested in a special joint session of the Nass. The independence should include the power to send their budget directly to the Nass and not through the Presidency, and all senior officers should be granted immunity from any form of arrest throughout the period in office. They will be called into action through public petition and not directive of any entity.

The amendment is for clarity purposes and to avoid unnessary litigations that over burden the CCT. If there is serious infraction against the act and seen to be criminal, the CCB should charge the person to the court. It can only save the light ofender who could claim error espesially in anticipatory accet declarations if the person is still in office.This amendment is not far reaching and at best a window dressing because these investigations are largely carried out after the officials have left their offices. If the bereau is investigating somebody who had already left office and foreclosed his accet declaration, what good would his invitation be if found to have compromised?

Those institutions are not even independent. The presidency can pressure any of them.

Bfor nko?

They wnt please d masses na.. Hope d anticorruption bill passes too

midolian:
To me, this is no biggie. Its just the way its supposed to be. It doesn't mean the person concerned can't be referred to the tribunal after his/her explanation.

This is how I see it..."Firefire, you took what does not belong to you..you better return it b4 I take you to court..and then you explained what happened in a defensive manner..if I am not satisfied, I may still choose to take u to court."

I just see this as a way of telling the suspect to get ready for the tribunal.

but must be time bond, if not

it will lead to another technical fault, which offender will capitalize on.

they might choose not to respond to CCB, since it not time bond, and when CCB take them to court, they will complaint of CCB not giving them adequate time to reply.

worlexy:
Good move. This will reduce the witch-hunting power of the Executive on their "enemies"

Is not just reducing but bringing the institution under direct control of the National Assembly.
No more fear for corruption by NASS members.

Exactly. Gbam

The bill will not get signed.

Thescienceprof:
Substituting the word "presidency" with "the National Assembly" is going to raise a lot of dust. The president will definitely not give his assent to this amendment

The National assembly can still pass it into law without the President anyway. That's if the President vetoes.

mikolo80:
why you should vote for better politician

pls whr can they b found?

The constitution stipulated that if the President refuses to a bill to law within 90days, the house can override him and accent to and it automatically becomes law.

Yeah. But don't forget that they are not covered by immunity so if there's concrete evidence against them, they can be prosecuted

Legislooters!

Did you even read what you typed? Everything you wrote they is tantamount to disarming the house owner and arming the armed robber leaving the former at the mercy of the latter.

But why should I be surprised? After all you are EzeNri. You will gladly support anything that threatens the entity called Nigeria. Sadly for you, it doesn't work that way.

midolian:
As long as the amendment won't halt Saraki's trial, I am satisfied.

typically gullible nigerian. they told you it wont halt you re happy. yes it wont halt it but will largely influence in Saraki's favour

Dannyset:
Chai.......Saraki working assiduously to reduce his jail term.
If he escaped in Nigeria, we will send him to Senegal to partner the Chad Dictator that was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Crazy set of people in our Legislative arm!

The NASS can override Buhari's veto by a 2/3 majority vote in both houses.

You took what doesnt belong to you, you have stolen, the only place to go is the court not to come and ask you to explain. Who is going to listen to the explanation if not a judge?

The law does not give room to apologies or re-steps. If you steal and you are caught, the law should not excuse you to go and return the stolen item then come back and claim no crime was commited. This ammendment is a perfect tool to kill the CCB and CCT.
