The Federal Government on Monday said that the insistence of new members of the National Assembly to initiate constituency projects in their names, rather than continuing with projects in the names of the their predecessors, had been hampering implementation of the 2012 budget.

The government also said the various deductions it made from the budget had made it difficult to respond to emergencies such as Boko Haram insurgencies, fire disasters and auto crashes.

Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, made the submission while briefing State House correspondents shortly after he presented a report to President Goodluck Jonathan on the implementation of the 2012 Budget by his ministry.

The implementation of the 2012 Budget has been a subject of controversy between the Executive and the Legislative arms of government with the House of Representatives threatening to begin impeachment proceedings against the President if he fails to implement the budget 100 per cent by September
