The National Assembly on Thursday disclosed the details of its 2017 budget. This was after eight years of keeping it a guarded secret.
The total budget for the legislature this year is N125bn. This is N10bn higher than that of last year – of which details were not disclosed.


While the senate will splash N2.6bn on automobiles, the house will do the same at the cost of N3.8bn.
However, there seems to be a niggling issue with the budgetary allocation for cars. N6.4bn was earmarked for the purchase of “motor vehicles”.
But when compared with previous spends on cars, the amount is a far cry from last year’s amount which was about N4.7bn.
In February 2016, the management of the national assembly took delivery of 10 princely cars for the senate president at the cost of about N330m. This was when the country was in the throes of recession.
And in November of the same year, the house of representatives took delivery of some Peugeot 508 series at the cost of about N3.6bn for its members.
Federal lawmakers will spend N235m on newspapers alone. While the senate will spend N424m on photocopying machines and other office equipment, the house will spend N353m on the same.
Also, the upper legislative chamber will spend http://www.mcebisco.com.ng/2017/05/2017-budget-national-assembly-earmarks.html

Those people are in another Nigeria from us I can tell you. Imagine if Saraki was president he will be ordering private jet every year.

These people are using tinted glasses in the car, sunglasses out of the car, dark cottons in the house so can't see people's suffering.

We shout, talk and text things are not changing what else do we have left. The only thing language these people understand is violent dialogue is surely not working.

Military rule is still the best.Scrap democracy.
