Shuooooo......
STRONG indications of a fresh crisis between the Executive and Legislative arms of government emerged, yesterday, as Senate, at plenary, said the N189 billion elections budget for the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, should be sourced from the N500 billion earmarked for Special Intervention Programme, SIP, captured in the Service Wide Votes of the 2018 Appropriation Act.
The fight may come from the refusal of the Senate to approve N189 billion from Constituency Intervention Funds to fund the 2019 general elections.
The Senate has, however, vired the money from N500 billion SIP proposed in the N9.12 trillion 2018 budget.
The upper chamber, while adopting the report of the Appropriation Committee, led by Senator Danjuma Goje (APC Gombe Central), which sought approval for the virement, vired the N189 billion from the N500 billionn earlier appropriated for the Special Intervention Programmes proposed by the executive in the 2018 budget.

We're watching.
ReplyDeleteMaybe part of the money should be vired from the constituency monies of the National Assembly Senators and House of Reps members. You can be taking over 13 million Naira home monthly yet refuse to pay your sides their allowances. And the special intervention program fund is for intervention projects like the floods we are encountering now in different parts of the country and other intervention projects.
