Dogara Dares El-Rufai : Disclose Your Security Vote If You Want To See National Assembly Budget

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara today challenged State Governors to make their security votes public and disclose the amount allocated to local governments. 

THE CABLE reports that Dogara issued the challenge after Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai asked the legislature to make its budget public. 

“I will like to challenge him (el-Rufai) to champion this cause for transparency in the budgetary process from the national assembly to other arms of government.”

“We want to see clearly how chief executives of states are paid. What do they spend monthly as security votes? And if they can publish what happens to local government funds under their jurisdictions. That will help our discussion going forward,'' Dogara said.
