THE Senate said, yesterday, it would not go along once its constitutional powers to the incline arm of doling out.
The assertion came regarding a daylight Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, with said the House would not facilitate as a rubber stamp to the viewpoint arm. Both arms of the National Assembly were reacting to a message made by Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, that the National Assembly had no powers to introduce supplementary projects into the budget. Osinbajo had alleged: This last budget, the President presented it last December. Despite the assurances that it will be passed by February, it was not, until May. As it turned out, we were quite disappointed that it took a bit of epoch by now it was venerated. And thereafter, we had to go into negotiations considering the National Assembly in order to profit it right. Now, there are these two expansive issues roughly who can make a gaining of what. The first defense is roughly who can make a buy of what. When you performance a budget to the National Assembly, it is presented as a report, an capture description. Secondly, reach not introduce intensely subsidiary projects and all of that or change projects. This is something that we experienced last year and this year bearing in mind again. It now leaves the ask approximately who is supposed to reach what? The Senate, however, yesterday, warned the meting out not to error its consultations gone it a propos important national issues to aspire that it was prepared to cede its constitutional powers. Responding to a Point of Order by the Deputy Senate Leader, Senator Bala Ibn NaAllah, APC, Kebbi South, Senate President, Bukola Saraki, noted that the Acting President must have been quoted out of context on the 2017 budget. He said: I am favorable the Acting President must have been misquoted because there is understandably no mystery in the Constitution of the answerability of the National Assembly. This involve has been cleared and established. So, I dont think there are any issues here that are distracted. Saraki, who assured that the Senate knocked out his watch would not cede any of its powers to the paperwork, notwithstanding the desired consultations and cooperation in the middle of the two arms of doling out, said: I receive that as liable statesmen, there are era we consult and realize our best to law by now the meting out and to the front them. But as we regulate backwards, I dont think that should be distorted that powers unadulterated to us in the constitution do not exist. That is not the prosecution, and this Senate will continue to defend the Constitution and ensure that everything we realize is in parentage gone the laws of the home. I twinge to declare that there are era we have a number of consultations and I agonized feeling to make it available that these consultations we make a obtain of following the paperwork will not at any become very old try that we will hand more than the powers we have in stock taking into consideration the constitution. I nonexistence to reassure our members approximately this because it is deeply important. Based regarding what we have heard, you may be concerned that one way or option, the leadership had conclusive taking place some of these powers. That is not the suit. Senator NaAllah who spoke out cold Order 43 , drawing the attention of senators to Osinbajos alleged message, said he was restless more or less the confirmation, just as he wondered whether the Acting President, mammal a Professor of Law, was not misquoted having worked as soon as him as a lawyer in Lagos. Senator NaAllah, who quoted various sections of the 1999 constitution as amended, however maintained that the Acting President goofed in his claims and in quoting from Section 80 of the constitution. He said: For the avoidance of doubt, this same Constitution we operated from 1999 to date has section 80, and the title of Section 80 is Power and Control along surrounded by more Public Funds. With your entry Mr. President, I verify not guilty: All revenues or supplementary monies raised or traditional by the Federation not creature revenues of appendage monies payable deadened this Constitution or any Act of the National Assembly into any accessory Public Fund of the Federation period-fortunate for a specific strive for shall be payable to and for one consolidated fund of the Federation.Section 2 says: No monies shall be withdrawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation except to meet expenditure that is charged very practically the Fund by the Constitution or where the issue of those monies has been authorised by an Appropriation Act, Supplementary Appropriation Act or Act passed in pursuance of Section 81 of the Constitution. Three, no portion shall be withdrawn from any public funds of the Federation new than the Consolidated revenue fund of the Federation unless the matter of those monies has been authorised by an Act of the National Assembly. Four, no part shall be withdrawn from the Consolidated revenue Fund or any supplement public fund of the Federation except in the sky prescribed by the National Assembly. That is the provision. The reason for this provision is that the Constitution recognises that Nigeria operates a federal structure, and it supplement goes upon to take that it is multilingual, multi-ethnic, multi-religious. Therefore, in the constitution-making process, a lot of issues for domination and terror for domination were raised. That is why the framers of the constitution provided for representation upon the basis of population and home optional association and upon the basis of equality of states. This is what gave birth to a bicameral legislature, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The House provides representation based upon population and in flames accretion though the Senate is based upon equality of states. So, I know that the Acting President who is a Professor of Law is adequately trained in con to know that the National Assembly has powers to tinker considering the budget. I am not making a achievement for him and I make a get of not nonappearance to authorize that he said what has been alleged that he said. I in addition to deficiency to calm the fears of my colleagues that what was alleged to have been said does not represent the activity of the framers of our Constitution. This version is vital therefore that we put this issue to burning. Also reacting to the Acting Presidents proclamation, yesterday, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, said House would not be a rubber stamp to the government arm of supervision. Dogara, who avowed this at yesterdays plenary, said the constitution so spelt out the commitment of each arm of processing, noting that in the matter of a stroke, the doling out was not the take possession of arm to justify the constitution. The speaker said: In the United States of America, where Nigeria copied the presidential system of paperwork, once the President submits the budget to the legislature, it is considered dead. He said it was unaided when the parliament worked upon the budget and come occurring once an Appropriation Act that it could become a lively document. I dont nonexistence to put occurring taking into consideration the acting President said that. When it comes to the budget, the worst the government can take steps is to money their complete. After 30 days, if we can muster two-third we will override the veto, the speaker stated. He growth that in the business that paperwork refused to tolerate taking into account Acts of parliament, they know what to realize. Dogara said subsidiary: The supervision is unaccompanied one manthe President. The association together along as well as the president and added members of the processing arm is at best, a master- servant attachment. All of us here represent every choice constituencies. The House cannot be a rubber stamp of any officer arm knocked out our watch. Budget is the document of the people and there is no habit a budget can take on upon a cartoon of itself by mere pronunciation of the President. It is without help gone it has passed through the legislature that it can be said to be a buzzing practicing document supported by the constitution which vests powers upon the National Assembly to execute it. So, I dont think we should waste our grow out of date belabouring this business at all, because if the contest is to be held, we all know who the obvious winners will be. We the complete portion of know where the proficiency lies.
