Taking the National Assembly to court

A reader, “utterly disgusted” by the scandalous amount of money being drawn by our Federal legislators believes moaning about it is useless.

And so, Sope Durodola has decided that a court action by concerned citizens, whose tax-paying money goes into the pockets of the legislators, is possible recourse. “I believe there are millions of other people out there just like me,” he says. Sope wants “the judiciary to compel the Revenue and Fiscal Mobilisation Commission to benchmark salaries for the legislature based on what the minimum wage for the public service is and/or based on best practice from other democracies around the world.”

Writing from durosope@yahoo.com, he seeks like minds to join hands with him to prosecute the “citizen action”, attributing the continued malaise in the society to the docility of the middle class. Good luck to Sope.
