El-rufa’i Begs Kaduna Lawmakers To Cut Salaries, Allowances by Onyi42(m): 12:13am On Jun 11, 2015 |
Kaduna—Kaduna State governor, Malam Nasir El- Rufa’i, has begged members of the House of Assembly to review their salaries and allowances downward in order to generate more revenue for the development of the state. “The Deputy Governor and I have signalled our intention in this regard by announcing that we are taking a pay cut of 50 per cent of our salary and allowances until the fiscal situation of the state improves,” El-Rufa’i said, yesterday, when he paid a visit to the House of Assembly. “We appeal to all political office holders to embrace this example and attitude of sacrifice,” h said, adding that after paying salaries of civil servants, government was left with only 20 per cent of its revenue. According to him, “Once done with paying salaries, allowances, overheads and pensions, the state is unable to do much by way of building infrastructure or providing services. The stark fact is that Kaduna State spends 80 per cent of its total revenues on its public servants and political office holders. “Can we as elected leaders deliver any significant service or implement progressive actions or attain desirable outcomes for the majority of our people if we devote only 20 per cent of available resources to their needs? Would we not be undermining the very rationale of democracy if, after being elected by majority vote, we uphold a system that solely serves the pleasures of a servant-minority? “How many good roads or decent hospitals can we build and maintain when we leave so little monies for the things that actually matter? The elections that have thrust the responsibility of governance on us reflect the yearning of our people for leaders that are competent, responsive and willing to offer dedicated service. “As elected officials, we must view our massive mandates as instructions by our people for unrelenting work on their behalf. The change they voted for is for substantive improvements in the delivery of public goods, a new way of doing things and the prioritisation of their needs. “As you are aware, the executive branch of this government has been taking briefings from the ministries, departments and agencies that constitute the public service of Kaduna State,” he added. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/el-rufai-begs-kaduna-lawmakers-to-cut-salaries-allowances/ |

How did Nigeria as a country get to a stage where both in the federal and state levels, almost 80% of earnings go to recurrent expenditures? Who did this? Essentially governance is all about sharing and nothing else. Delta state governor taking 2 billion naira a month as security vote at a stage? Unbelievable 1 Like |

El rufai should start by making his assets public. Publishing what accrues to the state and how it is applied. We all know that salaries of politicians are never enough to buy Tampons for their girlfriends. The real deal is the kick-backs and kick-fronts that those men appropriate to themselves and cronies through dubious means and nomenclatures like 'security vote'. We require to know how El rufai apply or misapply these monies. Let us not forget that the much touted change is here. We must demand change in governance and citizenry, politicians and electorates. |

The problem is we spend more on recurrent than on capital and as a start we should make it 60/40 percent on capital/recurrent respectively.The Governor should also check on ghost workers.Kaduna State civil servants are the least paid in the whole country and this should be adjusted. Secondly the Legislative salaries and allowances be reduced and there should be nothing as constituency allowances. What needs improvement is pensions and gratuity and should be paid on time. Thridly, I believe a state Governor should have the power to cut the salaries of its workforce as at when due against the backdrop of economic realities, for the greater good of the state. If a Governor cant so this, then whats the point of been a Governor? According to (Ymodulus, 2015. IMPACT OF MACROECONOMIC VARIABLES on ECONOMY), He said that vicissitudes of macroeconomics such as Exchange Rate , Inflation Rate, Interest rate, Money Supply and most importantly Unemployment among others makes it clear that the tendency to impose a minimum wage for all the states of the federation is a wrong move, which is in the long run is unfeasible. In all I believe El-Rufai, has all what it takes to govern Kaduna State, as he understands the needs, yearnings and problems of the Kaduna masses. He will make be a Good governor. 2023, it will be El-Rufai /Fashola. El-Rufai my God. My God I worship you sir. |
