 The upper chamber has conceded the bill seeking to provide strict implementation of national assembly recommendation on annual federal audit report. This bill was titled a bill for an act to provide for strict implementation of the national assembly recommendation on annual federal audit report and for related matters. The essence of the bill is to help co-op corruption in the country and enhance the emergence of the 10th national assembly. The goal of this bill, therefore, is to ensure that a legal framework exists for the strict implementation and enforcement of the national assembly timely decisions reached on audit reports of the other general made on national annual financial dealings. This is to ensure that a level of seriousness is accorded to the audit process while violations are strictly sanctioned with specified, with a specified timeline. The bill was sponsored by Senator Matthew Houguide, skilled second reading on the floor during plenary and some lawmakers are also in support of the bill that shared their thoughts. I believe that this bill is coming at a very, very auspicious time because there is a need for everyone to be up and doing. In the public accounts committee, we find out that most of the time, the MDAs do not care at all about what happens to the processes. They just believe nobody will do anything about it. But with this bill, there will be enforcement. The moment public servants know that there are consequences for their actions, then they will become more careful. And I know when I was in service, I've had calls to appear before the public accounts. I know it's a very thorough and very diligent process. We are always afraid when we are coming there because some of the issues you don't even know how to defend them. But I think the issue is simple. This bill, we now give the require, you know, biting power. That's it. They said we bark and bark and you cannot bite. I think this bill will enable the relevant authorities to ensure that people who really torture us got bitten by their actions. I want to urge the executive arm of government, and particularly Mr. President, that when the National Assembly passes this bill, it should ascend to it because this is one bill that when it becomes law will help in fighting corruption. And we want this to be one of our legacies as well as the legacies of the executive arm of government, particularly Mr. President. Hello. Hope you enjoyed the news.
