Stupid idiots. Anyway, do I really blame them? when the president who should set the stage for eliminating fraud in the budget is the one budgeting billions for their poo poo and billions for Ask Rock rent, then these idiots will learn from it cos all the always copy are bad examples.

The National Assembly is set to increase its budgetary allocation in the 2017 budget to N150 billion from N115 billion, it has emerged.
A competent source in the National Assembly told Daily Sun that there is a consensus among leadership of the Senate and the House of Representatives that the federal legsilature has to jack-up its budgetary allocation in the 2017 budget, with N150 billion being the benchmark.
“You can take my word to the bank that the National Assembly is going to increase its allocation to a minimum of N150billion to ensure that we can meet our financial obligations,” he said.
The current allocation has led to many challenges the leadership of the National Assembly has struggled to manage such as delays in the payment of lawmakers’ wages, months of unpaid salaries of legislative aides and the inability of lawmakers to travel for international summits as frequently as their predecessors,” he said.
This is even as Daily Sun also learnt that the staggered supply of the controversial official vehicles for lawmakers was listed as one of the effects of inadequate budgetary allocation to the legislature.
The lawmaker, who is a committee member which the budget was referred to, noted that if the vote to the judiciary was increased, that of the National Assembly has to be reviewed upwards.
“The President announced the increase in the allocation to the judiciary, saying it will further enhance their independence.
President Muhammadu Buhari had while presenting the 2017 budget to the legislature announced increased allocation to the legislature to N100 billion compared to N70 billion in the 2016 budget.
A top member of the House, who also confirmed plans to increase the budget of the 469-member National Assembly, legislative aides, the National Assembly Commission and the Legislative Institute, said it has to be done to mitigate the effect of inflation and the crash of the naira.
The budget to the National Assembly has remained a subject of controversy with the legislature getting N150 billion from 2011 to 2015. Despite the reduction of the allocation to N115 billion in 2016 following public criticism, Senate President Bukola Saraki, in response to calls for a transparency, promised to give a breakdown of National Assembly budget in May, but he was yet to do so.
Chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Abdulrazak Namdas, said it would be “premature” to make definitive statements on the 2017 budget.

Where the common sense advocate, who has been campaigning that Oronsanye report be implemented fast by downsizing government agencies and ministries without prescribing solution to job creations... so the whole agenda to free up resources for the national assembly...

Kuku kill us all at once instead of all this gradual economical genocide. And our youths of today are pathetic, if you plan an uprising against these corrupt old men in power. It is your even own brother in arms that will sell you out for less than 1million naira that can't make him successful in life.
We keep consoling ourselves with the stupid and nonsensical sayings "when there is life there is hope" and "God will take control". With the way our commonwealth is being looted, there won't be any life worth living when the crow comes home to roost. Besides heaven help those who help themselves so God will not come down from heaven to save you. Your destiny is in your hands.
I regret the day I was born a Nigerian.

True talk. Maybe we should force them to be like other countries legislatives. For example Senegal removed their senate saying it is to expensive leaving only the representative. They even removed the ofice of vice president. In USA the v.p is the senate president, reducing the financial burden of the two offices. I have always and will continue to say that we do not need the senate it is to o expensive and that the only reason why it is still there is that the house of reps is dominated by the north. Find a way to make the house of reps represent the people fairly with no state or region represented more than others,make a financial revolution occur,let them meet like the way it was in oldendays U.S which was once in a while. If the y need to meet urgently well there are video conferencing app over the net, make sure they do not hold business or it should be put in a blind trust,make sure they tell u where their money comes from and finally let the pay be the minimum wage,no car or furniture or clothes or feeding or sitting allowance all these can be done by our labour force and NO CONSTITUENCY ALLOWANCES given to them. My people they will pick race and all politicians no go near the place

Is PDP not part of this national Assembly we talking about? Is only the truth that can guide this nation right not just party. Let the citizens march out and fight out for the truth ( their rights ) and not tribe or party.
