 The Senate has commenced the process of amending the act, establishing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to guarantee security of ten of its chairman. One of the main objectives of the bill is to subject the termination of the appointment of the EFCC chairman to the confirmation of the National Assembly and to establish continuity and consistency in the anti-graft agency. Details in this report. The piece of legislation sponsored by Minority Weep after Senate Chukuka Otazi was deliberated on after the lead debate in Plenary. The Independent Cooperative Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC and Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit, the National Assembly, ensured that the headship had security of ten of by ensuring that their appointments and remover, as the case may be, were subject to the confirmation of the Senate. That was not the case with the EFCC. Therefore, in this proposed amendment, it is intended to bring EFCC in conformity with the other two anti-graft agencies of government. While supporting the passage of the proposed bill, a cross-section of lawmakers believed that it will promote professionalism and enhance the capacity of the EFCC. We shouldn't just remove the leadership of an agency because you feel that he will not dance to your tune. We have situations in this country where the leadership of EFCC was unceremoniously removed because of perceived political differences. In this case, Mr. President, it will not promote professionalism. If we restrict the chairmanship of EFCC to only staff of EFCC, we may be limiting ourselves. Because a situation may arise where we have a couple of hands who have done similar things in a similar agency, maybe outside the country, and we may want to bring them to come and improve on the edges we have in Nigeria. But then we must have limited ourselves. In his submission, the Senate president said the arguments about it, if it was right or not, to have an outsider had the EFCC had been on for quite some time. Let's tie down this improperly when we come to public hearing, or the committee should work hard to ensure that while we are looking for somebody from inside, that person when picked should be able to survive, should be able to have the support of his colleagues to succeed. Everyone's argument has something to offer, but I believe that we should encourage people from inside to grow to be the leaders of the Commission. After consideration, the Senate Committee on Anti-Corruption and Financial Crimes was handed a four-week timeline for further legislative action.
