Jonathan may sack MDAs’ chiefs for distorting 2012 budget
By Agency Reporter

President Goodluck Jonathan said on Friday that he would sack all Heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) who lobbied the National Assembly to distort the 2012 budget.

The President stated this in his remarks shortly after signing the 2012 appropriation bill at the State House, Abuja.

Jonathan said the attitude of MDAs lobbying for increase of their budget by the National Assembly had been responsible for the difficulties in budget implementation.

He said that he already had security information on some heads of parastatal agencies who lobbied the National Assembly to increase the 2012 budget, adding that he would make scapegoats of them.

“One of the greatest problems I have noticed from the day I assumed office as a vice president in 2007 till date is that Federal Government budgets have not been based on proper planning. `

`In most cases, when the budget comes out from the Planning Ministry and Finance along the line, people distort the budget, especially some heads of MDAs go to lobby the National Assembly to put figures that are not based on planning.

“And that is why it has been very difficult for federal government to achieve targets.

``This year, we clearly frowned at it and I am going to use some heads of parastatals to show people our new direction. I got security reports – that some heads of MDAs came to lobby for their budgets to be increased; I will use some people as an example. I will ask them to leave because we cannot run a country without planning.

“We cannot run a budget that is not based on planning because these figures don't just come from the blues, people sat down and compute figures and see how it fits into fiscal responsibility and other issues.

``So we will not allow a situation where one person, because of personal interest will distort the budget of a nation,’’ the News Agency of Nigeria quoted the president as saying on Friday.

He pleaded with the National Assembly to always resist overtures from heads of MDAs to increase their budgets

And some people try to pin Budget padding on Buhari. Wailers, God know all una address. I will love to see this as a throwback thread. Jaybee common help get this on Politic section first page. Lalasticlala, FP material in here. Lol

@modath: guess Bubu was right, after all.

Saraki thought making an hullabaloo about the budget would cast aspersion on PMB..

The NASS knew exactly what transpired because it's a long standing tradition that MDAs kickback "something" to the committees in charge oversight of their function & the only way to get this done is by "creative manipulation" of the figures...


Herein though is the difference between the IB & Bubu, IB treated it as one of those things but Bubu just ain't having it.

Sis mi, so this practice of budget padding has been the norm?

Walahi the internet is a 'baskard' that never forgets...

If GEJ had gotten 2nd term, he would have sacked them but alas enemies of 'progress' like you prevented it

That's the gist I heard at an ogogoro joint near otueke yesterday.

Where are the programmed hate filled wailing robots?

Thanking my stars for voting out the ineffective one....

Ita Enang is one of the old order & can't even be totally trusted as far as I'm concerned..

I agree that PMB was caught napping, but rest assured, NEVER AGAIN..



Lalasticlala, can you show the world the difference between a Leader that takes responsibility & the one who differentiates between stealing & corruption... thx.

Do you know why Superman Buubuu stopped only at removal aka reassign to other juicy ministry positions instead of asking EFCC to hound them into jail?
Sorry, I forgot that EFCC is only meant for his "enemies".

You are Beaf-like. See the argument put forth to you and see your answer.
If GEJ could acknowledge knowing about this practice since 2007. Why are you and 40 man crew hell bent on pinning this budget padding thing on Buhari? HYPROCRISY!!!
