Let's see how this goes but I see a lot of lawmakers frustrating this review.

bunmititi:
you cannot change the salary of the legislators now.
that will be like moving the goal posts during a fooball match!
some of them contested because of the salary and terms and conditions of service!
you cannot unilaterally change the condition of service just like that!
this rmfac should wait till 2019 before they can touch legislator salary!

A 20% pay reduction is nothing?

Consider the overall effect across the board i.e 20% of the total budget for NASS

U won't see barcanista's comment here

dearpreye:


I get your point, dear. Its still a good move in a good direction.


Well, I've been really busy. I was asked to join in a committee with some time-consuming tasks......

My lady, it seems I've missed a lot in recent days.......The mentions speak for themselves.

I tell youuu.

barcanista:
the RMAFC is only carrying out statutory responsibility. It isn't Buhari's initiative

This is one of the main reasons why no reasonable person would want Saraki to preside over the Senate.

DONLEKAN:
The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission has set in motion the process for the downward review of the existing salaries and allowances of political, public and judicial office holders in the country.

Chairman of the organisation, Mr. Elias Mbam, on Wednesday inaugurated the committee charged with the responsibility of reviewing the Remuneration Act 2008.

The Remuneration Act of 2008 prescribes the salaries and allowances for political, public and judicial office holders.

Mbam urged the committee to be conscious of the prevailing economic situation and the need to reduce cost of governance so as to free more funds for development, according to a statement made available to our correspondent by Head of Public Relations of RMAFC, Mr. Ibrahim Mohammed.

He also explained that the commission was constitutionally empowered to undertake the review of the remuneration packages as might be required from time to time so as to reflect current economic realities; advise federal and state governments on monetisation policies; and generate cost of living indices for revision of allowances among others.

Mbam charged the committee to undertake wide consultations with all critical stakeholders including all arms of government of the federation, the national and state assemblies, state and local governments, professional economic bodies, the organised labour, the academia, the media and the Nigerian public in general so as to enrich the process.

He reminded the committee members of the need to ensure that the review effectively minimised wastages and abuses and ensured prudent management of resources as well.

The committee is expected to holistically review the existing Remuneration Act; identify areas of wastages and abuse, examine the implementation of the monetisation policy by Ministries, Departments and Agencies and advise on appropriate remuneration for political, public and judicial officers commensurate with the work they do, Mohammed said.

Mbam stressed that the exercise, which is expected to reduce cost of governance, was line with the current realities where the economy was characterised by inflation and downturn in international oil prices among others.

He said the work was envisaged to be completed before the end of September.

In his remarks after the inauguration, Chairman of the Remuneration Committee of the commission, Mr. Abdullahi Inde, assured the chairman that the committee would do a thorough job of the task assigned to it.

He called on Nigerians to show support and pray for the committee.

The allowances are the problem. Please, they need to stop providing them with cars, maid service and all their comforts. Let them use their salary to fund their extravagant lifestyles. If they dont like it, they can reject their mandate. The salary is not bad. Its the allowances that are the problem. If they think they need aides to say aye or nay, let them pay for that out of their pocket. Foolish thieves.

dearpreye:


I wasn't banned at all.....

I'm still trying to wrap my head around whats happening at the moment.....

I've indeed missed a lot.

MizMyColi:


I've seen even more laudable projects hit the news stands via the media.

The PIB comes to mind.
Nigerians rejoiced.
The Niger Deltans felt a sense of relief.

But the bureaucratic bottlenecks of our time saw to it that the bill got watered down before finally being passed this year, under former Senate President Mark.

Remind me again, how many years did all these take; from conception to execution, I mean?

Now you're talking about taking a direct jab at the major reason PDP and APC alike wants to belong to the NA.


We'll see.
I'm watching

MizMyColi:


Yeah, there's no denying that.
My activity on here was on an all time high.

Well, you'll catch up.
Lols.
