The Senate has disclosed that it has no plan’s whatsoever to cut costs in the National Assembly amid the untold economic crisis bedeviling the country.
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, while chatting with Journalists on Monday, in Kwara State said the National Assembly was not responsible for the country’s current economic woes.
He also pin pointed what he described as additional but cogent roles played by members of the red chambers without additional allowances and as such, a call for cutting down cost was inconsequential.
Adaramodu made the remarks moments after the tribunal ruled in his favour, upholding the All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart’s electoral victory against Senator Biodun Olujimi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
