Senator Ali Ndume calls for slash in lawmakers salaries and adoption of part time status for National Assembly

Senator Ali Ndume has called for the immediate adoption of Part-time
legislative status for the National Assembly and the reduction in the
salaries of lawmakers.

Ndume who is the chairman of the Senate Committee on Army, said this while speaking with newsmen in Abuja today June 10.

“As far as I’m concerned, we can make the National Assembly a
part-time arrangement for now since we conduct our sitting once or twice
in a week these days.

If we make it part time, that means our salaries must be reduced. The
reality is that we can’t continue in a situation like this where 70 per
cent of the country’s budget is going to personnel and recurrent
expenditure as if everything is okay.

This is a time when we are borrowing to fund the budget and it would
not be wise to be spending the money to pay for services not
rendered.”
