    A member of the House of Representatives, representing Kaltungo/Shongom federal constituency in Gombe state, Hon. Simon Karu, has revealed the take home of each member in the green chamber, saying its up to N9.3 million.

    The cost including the monthly salary and the office running cost.

    Speaking Thursday in Abuja at a well attended event to mark Nigeria’s 60th anniversary, tagged: FixingNigeria at 60- “Sustainable and efficient democracy: Issues on accountability and transparency in governance”, the lawmaker however blamed constituents high demand on the cost.

    Hon. Karu said: “The official salary of a member, House of Representatives which I also receive monthly is N800,0000. I told you I was going to say it, why don’t you wait for me to say it? The office running cost of a member of the House of Representatives is N8.5 million.

    “Those of you who know, know that I said exactly what it is. The problem is what the constituents demand and when when you don’t meet they begin to call you names.

    “Just before I walked to the stage I received three emails from my constituents demanding for money and demanding for jobs, when you don’t it becomes an issue.”

    “We need a National Budget Office. Nigeria is only country without such office and until we have it budget padding will not stop.”

    Meanwhile, a security analyst and Editor-In-Chief, Global Sentinel, Senator Iroegbu, also harped on the for political solutions to our security challenges.
