Dogara was reacting to news reports in which Tinubu accused him and the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, of spearheading budget padding and delay. Earlier on Monday, Saraki challenged Tinubu to substantiate his claims on budget padding. Saraki said:” In all the three budgets passed by the National Assembly, we challenge Tinubu to make specific reference to where Saraki and the leadership of the National Assembly ‘sought to pad pet projects.
“The whole essence of the budget estimates being required to be laid before parliament is to enable it, being the assembly of the representatives of the people, to debate the said budget proposals and to make its own well informed legislative inputs into it.” Dogara identified the chief cause of delay in enacting the budget as the alleged persistent refusal or neglect of the executive to present it in good time.
Dogara said what Nigerians did not know was that the executive, through the various ministries, had continued to propose additional projects to be included in the 2018 budget even as at April and May of 2018 which further delayed the passage. “The National Assembly made a further attempt to make the budget process much better by improving the institutional capacity of the parliament to process and pass national budgets by passing the National Assembly Budget and Research Office Establishment Bill into law. It was loosely modelled after the American Congressional Budget Office . Again, Mr. President declined assent to the Bill.
YakubDogara is least qualify to throw tantrums at AsiwajuTinubu His comments shows that he lack basic understanding of powers of National Assembly in relation to Budget appropriation. Dogara should respect his elders
