Defend Your Budget Or Get Zero Allocation’ — Reps Panel Threatens Trade Minister by ijustdey: 2:09pm On Apr 05, 2019
The house of representatives committee on commerce has stepped down the budget consideration of the ministry of trade and investment for the second time.

The decision was taken as a result of the ministry’s failure to appear before the committee to defend its 2019 budget.

It also threatened to approve ministry allocation for the ministry in the budget, if it fails to come to defend its budget.

Speaking on Thursday, Sylvester Ogbaga, chairman of the committee, said the defence was rescheduled following the continued absence of Okechukwu Enelamah, minister of trade and investment.

He said the minister had last week requested the committee to reschedule the budget defence for Thursday, April 4.

Ogbaga expressed concern that the minister travelled “without notifying the committee” or writing it to mandate the permanent secretary to represent him.

The chairman of the committee said there were several grey areas in the 2018 budget of the ministry which the minister needed to clarify.

He also disclosed that efforts to embark on an oversight visit to the ministry had been unsuccessful due to “some unreasonable excuses from the minister.”

The committee, therefore, issued a 24-hour ultimatum demanding the appearance of the minister or that of the permanent secretary.

A senate committee had earlier this week rejected the budget of the ministry over an alleged inclusion of a private company.

Going off the headline alone, I’d say this is a really good welcomed development.

I really hope this buhari administration sit up this second term.

Another reason why a rubber stamp parliament is a threat to a functiinal democracy. Nobody, even a saint wants the pains of scrutiny. Power corrupts. That is why power must be checked.

Since tneconcept of 'take a bow' has turned petty criminals into public servants, it will turn budgets into treasure troves.

Nice one.

This is what we call democracy...
Checks and balances

You presented a budget you can't defend; I doubt if the minister could defend his academic certificate(s) if at all he has genuine one.

Hmmm....this is moving in the right direction. How can he make budget and cannot defend his demands?...now he is dodging. He need to defend it or be charged for intent to defraud... something like that.

The minister should do the needful.
He is not above the law. This is a statutory requirement.
If he can't appear for reasons best known to him he should at least send the perm Sec.

Emelamah be careful ooh, just comman show working dazzall
