Should FG Have Powers To Audit And Monitor State Finances by Minsk24: 11:06am On Mar 07 |
With the amount of white elephant projects Littered across states , do u think it is a good idea for the federal government to have strong oversight of spending by states? For example, we are lucky to have a federal government that is ready to take the country forward and stamp out corruption and wastage ..i will suggest the federal government have a yearly audit of how states spend money, and for federal government to have authority to litigate some proposed state projects in court in order to suspend it or probe it for transparency and economic viability... For this to work perfectly well, Nigeria must institute and work with economic plans , these plans will be backed by law, the executive will be the manager of economic plans , the executive can tweak but cannot make full overhaul without approval from the parliament... This will help curb wasteful spending... |

The parliament are supposed to do that with half of the country's budget they get. |

Beautifulday:Lol, thats is why i say, whenever we have a federal government that is efficient and ready to reform Nigeria |
Re: Should FG Have Powers To Audit And Monitor State Finances by Minsk24: 11:31am On Mar 07 |
slimfit1:Yes , but i dont think such laws exist, the states spend their money at will without oversight |
Re: Should FG Have Powers To Audit And Monitor State Finances by Beautifulday: 11:33am On Mar 07 |
Minsk24: This is almost impossible because one regime can be efficient and the next something else. |
Re: Should FG Have Powers To Audit And Monitor State Finances by Minsk24: 11:42am On Mar 07 |
Beautifulday:That is why i said , everything has to be backed by law ...this oversight will be conducted by the house or representatives |

Minsk24: If FG is doing well, state will copy them. |

There should be federal agency that can swoop in and sanitize state finances where embezzlement and corruption is suspected. If not the system will be abused. Whistleblowers should be encouraged within state governments. |

Beautifulday:Yes but there has to be reforms and laws, to ensure states have guidelines 1 Like |
Re: Should FG Have Powers To Audit And Monitor State Finances by Minsk24: 12:02pm On Mar 07 |
Asonaijaaso:U have a point, but we must be careful so as not to stifle states... By oversight, i mean, yearly audit of spending and overall finances (states spending across different sectors must be in line with the economic plan laid out) Litigation in court on projects to ensure transparency and economic viability |

Minsk24: Not yearly, maybe even once a year, just to prevent a state governor from buying 50 cars and buying houses in Dubai and London. There has to be checks and balances. As long as they are receiving funds from Federal, there should be some oversight. |
Re: Should FG Have Powers To Audit And Monitor State Finances by Minsk24: 12:29pm On Mar 07 |
Asonaijaaso:I totally agree |
