The office of the Auditor- General for the Federation (AuGF) in its 2019 Annual Audit Report had indicted the Management of the National Assembly over how it spent funds running into billions of naira without necessary documents to back up such expenses

The AGF, Aghughu Adolphus, in the audit queries uncovered how over N8.5 billion from the funds released to the National Assembly were expended within the period under review without evidence.

The report, submitted to the Clerk to the National Assembly in August this year as required by the constitution, said the monies under scrutiny were not backed by vouchers and retirement documents.

The audit report uncovered various infractions by the House of Representatives, the Senate and the National Assembly Service Commission. The audit report is usually submitted to the National Assembly Public Accounts committees for investigation.

It was reported that for over a year, the Senate Public Accounts Committee had been investigating expenditures of federal government agencies from 2015 – 2018 based on a report by the Auditor- General for the Federation.

The CNA is being expected by the invitation to appear before the House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts on Wednesday this week.
