Nigerian Senate handler has downloaded Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Professor Itse Sagay, to a mere tout ranking under the influence substance.
The Nigerian Senate was reacting after the revered professor has said that some legislature, senior lawyers, Special Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs), and some “hostile and powerful judges” work against corruption efforts.
The legal luminary also lamented that National Assembly allocated N125 billion to themselves alone this year and that while the United States President earns $400,000 per annum, a Nigerian senator earns over $1.7 million.
Sagay said besides a basic salary of N2.4 million per month, they earn allowances such as hardship (50 percent of basic salary), newspaper allowance (50 percent), wardrobe allowance (25 percent), entertainment (30 percent), recess (10 percent), and leave (10 percent), among others.
The total allowances, he said, amounts to N29.5 million per month and N3.2 billion per annum.
“Perhaps the most notorious example of the legislators’ resistance to the war against corruption is the rejection of the right of the executive to choose the persons who will spearhead that struggle,” he added.
But the Senate via its official twitter handle said : “Sagay talks like 1 who is constantly under influence of some substance & perhaps possessed as he employs language of touts with no civility”.
