A
South-eastern senator has raised concerns about budgetary allocations
made for the purchase of computers every year despite the fact that the
technological device has a lengthy life-span.
Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe
Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe representing Abia-South Senatorial
District in his contribution to the 2017 budget debate says the more
things change the more they remain the same.
He described the budget as an outrageous. "We are nation that joke a lot, we are going in the wrong direction. N1.3b is too outrageous for catering equipment" he reiterated.
He said: “5 BMW cars, 5 Toyota Land Cruisers etc are outrageous".
"Every year computers are being budgeted for in budgets.”
President Muhammadu Buhari's previous "budget of change" in the
year 2016 was severely padded by faceless government officials leading
to a protracted furore in the National Assembly.
