The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari ; President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila at the 2022 budget presentation before the joint session of the National Assembly on Thursday. Photo: @buharisallauA sordid scenario Nigerians are all too familiar with played out during the signing of the 2022 Appropriation Bill.
But this would not be Buhari’s first outburst against such legislative rascality. While assenting to the 2018 Appropriation Bill, he had lamented: “The National Assembly made cuts amounting to N347 billion in the allocations to 4,700 projects submitted to them for consideration and introduced 6,403 projects of their own amounting to N578 billion.” This is disgusting.
Soon after, a former Chairman of the Appropriations Committee at the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, alleged that top members of the NASS had introduced unknown projects and inflated estimates into the budget. Despite several threats by the Federal Government, and a Federal High Court order mandating the President to probe those responsible for inserting questionable projects, no one has been brought to book; neither the crooked legislators nor the complicit civil servants.
Who releases the padded budget to the national assembly members 🤔
