The outgoing chairman of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) Mr. Elias Mbam, Monday revealed that the allowances of political office holders, particularly ministers, will be slashed as part of the government’s effort to reduce the cost of governance.
He also disclosed that the commission has recovered N721 billion and remitted same to the Federation Account through the checks carried out on revenue generating agencies of government as well as the reconciliation of accounts with commercial banks used as collecting agencies.
