The House of Representatives has begun a process of preventing refurbished and smuggled from being supplied cars to it as the lawmakers have placed orders for the supply of 400 units of Toyota Camry 2

020 model.

Already, about 14 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado were said to have been shared to the presiding and principal officers as well as chairmen of select House committees. The source claimed that the cars were usually delivered directly to each of the lawmakers, without passing through the right departments for inspection and approval.

“Now, we are buying 400 units but you can imagine giving the contract to roadside dealers to supply five, 10 or 20 pieces each. How do you maintain standards ? When did such cars become a commodity to be supplied by anybody? Meanwhile, some of those who supplied vehicles in 2015 are still owed.” The Committee on House Services, which also exists in the Senate, serves as the protocol and welfare department.

The Director of Public Affairs, Office of the CNA, Yahaya Dan-Zaria, who spoke to our correspondent before the lawmakers made their choice, said, “The management has no hand in the purchase of vehicles for members; they take their decision on what they want to buy. Nobody decides for any legislator what to do with their money or item. It is not possible.”
