Former speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara said on Wednesday, July 3, that the time has come for the National Assembly to throw open its finances to dispel the insinuation that the legislators were taking a humongous amount of money monthly.
Dogara, who spoke at the first-ever legislative open week of the House of Representatives, told the audience that as Speaker of the House, his monthly salary was less than N400,000, while his monthly allowance as a presiding officer was N25 million.
Dogara said the earnings of members of the National Assembly have been on the front burner for a while even though their allowances cannot last them for more than three days.
