Owing to the controversy surrounding the planned amendment to the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act by the National Assembly, the House of Representatives moved on Tuesday to reverse it. The Senate had last week, concluded work on a bill for an Act to amend the CCB/Tribunal Act by adopting the bill, which was first initiated in the House. In keeping with the rules of proceedings in the House, a substantive motion to rescind the bill will be debated by the lawmakers to decide whether the reversal will succeed. The Majority Leader of the House, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, is expected to move the motion on notice on Tuesday or Wednesday, next week. It was Gbajabiamila, who started the move on Tuesday by soliciting members’ support to reverse the amendments. Raising several points of order at Tuesday’s session, which was presided over by the Speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, the majority leader had noted that much as it was the duty of the legislature to make laws, the same legislature could reverse itself if it appeared to be progressing in an unpopular direction. Gbajabiamila also argued that the amendments to the Act were in conflict with the relevant sections of the 1999 Constitution dealing with the membership and operations of the CCB. For instance, Gbajabiamila said Section 15(4) of the 5th Schedule to the constitution provided that the National Assembly should give additional powers to the CCT so that it could tackle corruption effectively. He added that the new amendments merely contradicted the constitution, as the National Assembly was now reducing the powers of the CCB/CCT. The majority leader further said Section 15 (3) of the same schedule stated that upon the recommendation of National Judicial Council, “the President shall approve the appointment of the Chairman of the CCB, which already stated clearly the procedure.” “An amendment to the CCB Act cannot be inconsistent with the provisions of the constitution. As we know, the constitution is the supreme law of the land. “Any law that goes in conflict with the constitution, it is taken for granted that the constitution will naturally take its stand,” he added. Gbajabiamila, a member of the All Progressives Congress from Lagos State, recalled that the CCB/tribunal amendment bill was included among the “40 bills,” which passed third reading one day at the House in June. http://punchng.com/reps-may-reverse-senate-amendments-ccbcct-act/ 4 Likes

The National Assembly is a team backed up by law to take the country three steps backward when the nation attempts to take one step forward! No sane mind that is above age 3 will even expect them to be making yeye amendments at a time when their leaders are seen to be at a cross with the law! I mean, who does that? if not Nigeria Legislathieves!...don't get me wrong not all of them are rogues, only 99% of them are! 31 Likes 2 Shares |

Exercise in futility. if they like they should pass the amendment even without debate. The President will never assent to such an aberration. If they decide to veto the President and Pass the Bill into law, the Court will definitely declare the amendment void. How can the Legislatures pass a law that is inconsistent with the Constitution and expect it to stand? 12 Likes |

The amendment to the CCB/CCT act cannot stand as it is inconsistent with the provision of an existing law of the constitution. Some people do not know that there is a big difference between an act and the law; an act is subjective to the law and can be seen as inconsistent,immoral, null and void when it goes contrary to the existing constitutional provisions. It is instructive to note that the NASS can not make substantive laws without the impute of the 36 states House of Assembly. The majority leader of the HoR was smart enough to call the attention of the House to that grievous constitutional lacuna. Though he was simply told to present his proposal through a substantive motion as the right procedure to adopt. Should the NASS fails to do the needful, a court of competent jurisdiction will set the act aside anytime such act is made to pass through the eyes of the law. 10 Likes |

kcnwaigbo: Listen Kenechukwu, it is IMPOSSIBLE, in a Democratic setting for the President to have "absolute power". Either you understand this and are just pretending not to, or, you truly don't understand what kind of Government your country runs and are just pretending to be knowledgable. If the President had absolute power why isn't Saraki in Prison today? Why didn't he just instruct the cops to wrap him up and dump him in prison? If Saraki is thrown in prison today by Buhari (assuming he had the powers to) what will happen? Who will protest? Is Saraki anywhere near as connected or as powerful as Sambo Dasuki? The bottomline is, Buhari does not have any more power than dictated by your Constitution. The truth though is, he has EMPOWERED all the state security apparatuses by making them free to carry out their duties (as enshrined in the constitution) without undue interference by the Presidency; something that has never happened before in Nigeria's democracy. You are not used to being in a system thats being put in motion to "WORK" in the future. That is why you complain when looters are arrested. Thats why you wail when obviously corrupt Judges' homes are raided early in the morning. Thats why you scream when people that threaten civilian carnage, death, and violence (while simultaneously being treasonous and propagating secession) are arrested and kept away from the rest of normal society. Its not your fault, the old system is all you know and all you're used to. But, whether you like it or not, the new system being introduced will withstand the pressure of time for the sake of the future. 25 Likes 5 Shares |

kcnwaigbo: Please try to read things before jumping on them At this point, Kingsley Chinda from Rivers state, moved a point of order, saying that it was impossible to revisit a resolution passed by house and concurred by the senate, except the right processes were followed. In other words, the house asked to be out on notice so they can prepare for a debate on it. This is similar to this thread where they said the house leader will present it to the house next Tuesday.
