Senate president Bukola Saraki has responded to Obasanjo’s concern, saying the eighth National Assembly,
under his leadership was already taking deliberate steps to strengthen
the country’s democratic institutions and ensure prudent management of
resources.
In a statement made available to Premium Times, Saraki said: "This is to ensure that we plug all leakages and minimise waste across our expenditure systems.
“Likewise, the eighth National Assembly has made the issue of plugging leakages and cutting wastages in our public expenditure system a major priority that should not be toyed with.
This may have happened in the past but it will not happen with us,” he said.
Saraki further said the legislature has started overhauling its oversight functions to make it more effective in exposing corruption in the Ministries, Departments and Agencies
“We are hand in glove with the president on this matter and this is why we are overhauling our oversight functions to make it more effective in exposing corruption in the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA).
“We recognise the hard work our anti-corruption agencies are putting into this fight.
“The Senate is resolved to support them to perform their duty effectively by providing them with adequate funding where necessary, as their work is integral to our oversight responsibility.”
Obasanjo had written the National Assembly over concerns that federal lawmakers were unconcerned to the economic hardship facing their country, and had continued to live large at the expense of the masses.
