The House of Representatives has lamented poor budgetary allocation to the National Assembly.
This was made known by the spokesman of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, while stressing that the National Assembly cannot function effectively with a low budget.
Kalu said, “The budget of the National Assembly is low.
“We cannot function as expected by the mandate of the Constitution relying on that budget. People can criticize it the way they want.
“I have said it from the day I came into the National Assembly, you cannot get the efficiency that we want to drive the legislature by depending on the current budget as it is. I am hoping that we would push it forward to accommodate other responsibilities of ours.”
