By Abdulsalam Muhammad KANO – MEMBER-ELECT, House of Representatives, Gaya,/Ajingi/Albasu federal constituency, Abdullahi Mahmud Gaya, has called on the President elect, Muhammadu Buhari to slash 50% expenses of the presidency and National Assembly expenses to garner enough resources to execute capital projects. Briefing Reporters in Kano, Monday, Gaya, urged all his colleagues to show understanding and sacrifice to take the country forward. The erstwhile Kano Commissioner of Finance, said “In my opinion I think it will be better for all the elected representatives, beginning from Mr President to membes of parliament, to Ministers, other Advisors and special assistants to demonstrate understanding and sacrifice agree to 50% salary cut” he called. He said “Since we believe the country needs positive change we should therfore accept it as such. The slash in the expenses should continue till when our dear nation gets to execute capital projects. May be from the time we were inaugurated to another two years,” he insisted. Gaya further emphasised that, they were all elected to change the trend if the federal government expenses for better. “As it is obtained now 75% of the national budget goes to recurrent expenditure and the remaining 25% goes to capital expenditure. We should not accept this if we really have the county ay heart, ” Gaya challenged profusely. He stressed that the spending at the Presidential Villa, should also be slashed for the meantime. “So that we get something to work with,” he said. He also stated that, if Nigeria could copy from Kano state, where leakages were stopped, the in-coming administration of Buhari could get mote resources to work with. “In Kano state the public treasury is being guarded and guided jealously with care and accountability, which resulted into a disciplined fiscal responsibility. Buhari and all other representatives should copy from Kano,”. “In our budget in Kano, we spend 75% in capital expenditure while only 25% goes to recurrent spending,” Gaya posits. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/05/buhari-urged-to-slash-presidency-n-assembly-expenses-by-50/ |
