The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has disagreed with the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission’s (ICPC) report which claims that N1trillion has so far been appropriated for National Assembly constituency projects with little or nothing to show for it.
Gbajabiamila said his concerns are the unintended consequences to the report of the ICPC, which brought out the information. He added that the anti-graft commission should have taken advantage of the Freedom of Information (FoI) Act, to conduct proper investigation to find out the actual releases before giving its report.
“You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to know the difference between monies budgeted and monies released,” the Speaker said.
