OAMMB:

i hope their allowances are Thoroughly investigated and checked because that is where the looting really takes place....not their salaries

wordcat:
So how much is their pay?

madridguy:
God alone will know how to design the special hell fire that will be the final abode of OBJ. I will not stop saying it, OBJ is the founder of every corruption in our society. He has all what its takes to transform our society to be among far back in 1999 but he went astray. God alone will judge him and his entire generation. OBJ is the founder of every challenges we are presently facing.

Laredojohn:
It's yet to be fixed, but sure the RMAFC are making adjustments...

menxer:
please what is the KPI (key performance index) of our NASS members compared to their remuneration?

sitting allowances should be scraped and replaced with allowances for bills passed into law.

how can we pay people for just "sitting",
when the "sitting" does not translate to laws made?

after all, everywhere in Naija people are "sitting" but don't get paid.

wordcat:
I'm talking about their current pay.

kenonze:
Start it ASAP.

No country survives when over 70% of its budget goes to recurrent expenditures while 30% goes for capital projects.

The moment we start thinking of how to put the country first, everything shall fall in place

ultrazone3:
Good one FG. Everyone and every sector must be 'forced' to drink this water of CHANGE.

reverendfather:
FG to do this FG to do that ... When are we going to see actions not mouth action haba
This is not what I bargained for.

change49ja:
On point. And out of the 30% budgeted for capital projects, only about 15% will be actually used for that purpose. SMH

ABUJA—Chairman of the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission, RMAFC, Mr. Elias Mbam, disclosed yesterday that the Commission had started the process of trimming down the pay packages of the President, Senators, members of the House of Representatives, governors and all the elected public officials to reflect current economic realities.


Speaking with journalists after meeting President Muhammadu Buhari,  the RMAFC Chairman said that no federal lawmaker received N1 million monthly as salary, adding that their salaries would be pruned down to reflect the current economy status.

Asked whether the parliamentarians would give a nod to the idea, the Chairman said it was a constitutional mandate, which no one should argue about.

He said: “We are here to brief the President on the activities of the commission, the challenges and the way forward.

“The President advised us to ensure that we use all legitimate means to ensure all public office holders take home remuneration as determined by the commission and also block all leakages.

“We have done a lot in informing the public on the true position of the remuneration packages. It is on our website; it is clearly written there and we have published these remuneration packages in many national dailies several times.

“We have also had interactions with the press at different fora.

“What we read on the pages of newspapers is not known to the commission because there is no member of the National Assembly, based on what we determined, who earns up to N1 million per month.

“Presently, we are reviewing the subsisting remuneration packages and it is going to reflect the socio-economic realities of today. We expect that before the end of next month, it will be ready.

“When I talk of packages, the responsibility of the commission is to determine the remuneration for political office holders, both elected and appointed, from the national level to the local government level.

“Of course, National Assembly members are elected. It will include them, it will include the judiciary, it will include the state legislature, executive and of course, the local government will be included.

“Recently, the oil price dropped. Many government agencies, the states and local governments have not been able to pay their salaries. These are some of the issues that made it necessarily to review it. It did not start with this administration; we started the review as far back as last year. It is not because of the present administration that we commenced it.
“They do not have a choice. We are guided by the constitution and we are going to be guided by such laws that are provided for in the constitution and the oath they swore to obey the laws of the country.”

Mbam, who recounted the challenges of the Commission to include insufficient funding, urged the authorities to amend the Act setting it up to grant its financial independence.

Asked when the new revenue sharing formula would be ready, the chairman said it was beyond his power to comment on.

He said: “One of the challenges is that the commission is not properly funded and we are saying that we expect that the commission should be one of the agencies of government that should have financial autonomy.

“The best way to do that is to include it as one of the agencies that will benefit from first line charge.
“The second is to give the commission the power of enforcement. They should review the Act establishing the commission so that it can have power of enforcement and sanctions on any of the defaulting MDAs.

vickylala239:
This is shiit


We are Not talking abt basic salary.


The allowance is Whr the millions is.

Stop deceiving Nigerians.

Why is this country like this.who are Dey deceiving.

They tink we are foooools.

ArcSEMPECJ:
.....
t thought some people still go through child birth without getting into the incubator?
.....which change are you talking about when the director said the slash has been on from last year as placed in the constitution.....

Dottore:
[size=15pt]We are more concerned about slash in their ambigous, unjustified and irrational allowances

This country would progress when take home package of political offices are made less attractive; its only then that thieving and jobless politicians would either start looking for employment opportunities or how to be self employed.
It sounds so absurd when you ask for someone's occupation and he replies "I am a politician". This country sef. Na wao [/size]

kenonze:

OAMMB:
thank God for this development... i cant understand why they earn so much for doing nothing....
they are always going for breaks for no reason at all....imagine they were getting 46k everyday for news papers allowance...kia....God will deinately punish those guys....nigerians have never benefited from these clowns. Now the political office will no longer be attractive....at least they will stop killing themselves on who to be senators presidents or house of reps leaders.

God bless you PMB

ilobasama:
Whats our own, if they like they kill themselves, but that unreasonable allowances should stop. Rather than 25m monthly, 3m per month is still ok. That will save us a lot and the remainder will be channeled to other useful projects. But until then, we are still joking

nkemdi89:
That proposal should work after four years as far as am concerned. Election in Nigeria is very expensive, you don't expect all these members having spent a huge sum of money in order to win and they shouldn't get back their money.

OAMMB:
3m is even too much...for what na?
what are they doing apart for Ye and Ne wey dem dey shout?
when engineers and doctors wey go school read like no man's biz and finish with 1st class never collect 3m na some old baba olodos go collect 3m per month...abeg bros..ko jo!
500k is ok for them

darazonian:
So na investment it be abey? No wonder, I heard one senator from bauchi state saying "I don't want buhari cos i have spent so much during the campaign and this old man is saying its no longer bizness as usual". what a same
