The Clerk to the National Assembly , Architect Olatunde Amos Ojo on Tuesday said the parliament was vested with investigatory, financial, confirmation and impeachment powers.
He said that the legislature is the symbol of democracy, vested with the powers to make laws for the peace, order and good governance of the Federation, and therefore all lovers of democracy should protect the parliament. “It is also vested with investigatory powers, financial powers, confirmation and impeachment powers. It would not be out of place for me to use this occasion to remind us that the Legislature is the symbol of Democracy all over the world. It is therefore pertinent and incumbent on all lovers of Democracy to ensure that this Institution is protected. One of the ways of doing this, is adequate training of Staff.
He said the three day workshop was intended to bring staff to speed on their ethical and behavioural responsibilities and guide them to their legislative processes, in line with international best parliamentary practices.
Why should an unproductive yet money-guzzling sector be supported? Senate enjoyed 27 weeks of recess of 52 weeks; all they did in 25 weeks is noise. Abolish the assembly in Abuja, let senators and reps members work from their constituencies, and meet 2 days per quarter in Abuja.
