We dont need salary cut....all we need is allowance cut....

Ghandi12:


In 2015 Nigeria we need figures, figures, and more figures. This is how transparency and trust can be forged in the system. We the masses have complained about the inappropriate allowances of the NASS members, particularly in the face of persistent dwindling of the nation revenue base and attendant job losses. "Salary cut" sounds dubious when people have also been complaining about the allowances.

Although it is the constitutional duty of RMFAC to prescribe the NASS pay but a concern and trust-seeking NASS will do much more to empathize with the masses by:

Making public all that is, currently, accrueable to every lawmaker - say in a year;
Propose a straight fractional cut that is even much less than RMFAC proposals;
Decimate their N95 Billion annual budget into acceptable figures (N5 - N10 Billion).

Essential NASS structures are already rooted, past budgets since 1999 have already equipped offices with conveniences and tools. Budgets have been made in the past for computers, internet and other working appliances (there should not a Billion naira budget for researches). So new budget should just maintain these facilities, pay workers and not start embarking on new superfluous ventures.

Until they do this they can never earn the respect of most Nigerians. We have always seen them as rogues and erasing this opinion in our minds will take more than canards.



Spoke like a true Nigerian, i agree with you on some major points you raised but you failed to noticed the post also talked about allowance cut too, needless to say, we need to get more involved in politics and ask for facts and figures not mere words that these guys have using on us from decades past.
