Member-elect of the House of Representatives from Kano State Abdullahi Mahmud Gaya has called on the incoming administration of President-elect Muhammadu Buhari to slash the expenses of the Presidency and National Assembly by 50 per cent.
Gaya said this would allow enough resources to be made available to cater for the nation’s capital expenditure.
In an interview with reporters at his residence in Kano yesterday, Gaya, who was elected from Gaya/Ajinge/Albasu Federal Constituency, urged his colleagues and the President-elect to consider his advice.
Until his election as a House of Representatives’ member, Gaya was the state’s commissioner for Finance.
“In my opinion, I think it will be better for all the elected representatives, beginning from Mr. President to members of parliament, to ministers, other advisers and special assistants, to agree that what we will be receiving is slashed to 50 per cent,” he said.
“Since we believe the country needs positive change, we should therefore accept it as such. The slash in the expenses should continue till when our dear nation gets to execute capital projects. The sacrifice should start from May 29, for two years,” he added.
