Why We Haven’t Fulfilled Pledge To Donate Half Salaries – Reps

The House of Representatives on Wednesday explained why it is yet to donate half of its members’ salaries as promised.

According to the spokesperson of the House, Rotimi Akin, the lower chamber remains committed to the 50 per cent deduction in lawmakers’ salaries.

“We acknowledge and regret that this resolution was not implemented by the bureaucracy as intended for the month of July,” he said in a statement.

“Resolutions of the House are ratified when the votes and proceedings of plenary are adopted on the next legislative day. Consequently, the bureaucracy was only formally instructed on July 23,” the spokesperson said.
