Makarfi Claims That Sanusi Has Apologised To National Assembly by babytejiri(m): 4:23pm On Feb 03, 2011 |
Senator Ahmed Makarfi, Chairman, Senate Committee on Finance has said that Nigerians did not understand the Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, when he (Sanusi) said members of the National Assembly alone were spending 25 per cent of the country’s annual budget. Ahmed Makarfi, who spoke to journalists in Kaduna at an interactive forum disclosed that he received a letter from Sanusi, in which the CBN boss allegedly apologised to the National Assembly over the controversial 25 per cent and blamed Nigerians for misquoting him. He added the letter also explained that members of the National Assembly were only spending 25 per cent of the overhead cost and not 25 per cent of the nation’s annual total budget. The CBN governor had some time late last year stirred the hornet’s nest when he told Nigerians that members of the National Assembly were spending a total of 25 per cent out of the nation’s annual total budget. This had since generated debate across the country. “CBN Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, did not say that the National Assembly was consuming 25 per cent of the nation’s annual budget, He claimed. “As a matter of fact, two or three days after his appearance before our joint committee he wrote me a letter officially to voice in that he didn’t say 25 per cent of the nation’s annual budget, he didn’t say 25 per cent of the nation’s total revenue, he didn’t say the nation’s total recurrent expenditure, but 25 per cent of overhead. “Overhead figure treated by Sanusi, when you take it as percentage of the budget itself, will come to about eight per cent of the total budget, the entire nation’s overhead will come to about eight per cent of the nation’s budget. “So I have to correct the statement Sanusi made, he didn’t say what exactly you said, and he himself repeated it, but whatever it may be, how much does it cost to run government, and that government is not National Assembly alone, government is all arms, and we are committed to bringing down the cost of running government.” http://www.nigeriacurrentnews.com/senator-ahmed-makarfi-sanusi-has-apologised-to-national-assembly/ |

babytejiri: Who is this guy fooling? All along, Sanusi has being saying 25% of the Federal Government Overhead. SANUSI: RIGHTEOUS DEFIANCE AS AN ARMOUR Sanusi has maintained that the NASS consumes 25% of the Gov't overhead. The Gov't employs, army, police, immigration, custom, ministries etc but takes only 75% of the overhead. This is scary for any nation. |

This guy is insulting us. This matter has quietten down, nothing happened, they are still collecting their pay packs but he still want to defend himself. Everybody knows he is the most corrupt person now living in Kaduna. Despite all the Mafias in Kaduna, it is rumoured he has the most expensive house in Kaduna |

If there was an apology whether recorded or in Print, I'm sure Reps and Senators will make sure it's all over the internet and even publish it in newspapers and if it's voice, they will sell make the CD and give it to Alaba boyz to pirate |
