The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, and Speaker of House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, have been sued over \u201ctheir failure to probe, and to refer to appropriate anti-corruption agencies fresh allegations that N4.1bn of public money budgeted for the National Assembly is missing, misappropriated or stolen\u201d.<\/p>\n

Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP filed the lawsuit following the publication of the annual audited report for 2016 in which the Auditor-General of the Federation raised \u201cconcerns about alleged diversion and misappropriation of public funds and sought the recovery of any missing funds<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the suit number FHC\/ABJ\/CS\/1609\/2021 filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja, SERAP is seeking, \u201can order of mandamus to direct and compel Dr Lawan and Mr Gbajabiamila to perform their constitutional oversight functions to promptly probe the allegations that fresh N4.1bn budgeted for the National Assembly may be missing.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to SERAP<\/a>; \u201cthe National Assembly has legal and constitutional duties to prevent and combat corruption, as well as promote transparency and accountability in the management of public resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe National Assembly can only effectively perform its anti-corruption role if it can demonstrate exemplary leadership to probe the allegations of corruption and mismanagement involving the legislative body.\u201d<\/p>\n

SERAP is also arguing that, \u201ctransparency and accountability in the management of public resources and wealth is essential for promoting development, people\u2019s welfare and well-being, and their access to basic public services, as well as good governance and the rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n

SERAP is arguing that, \u201cThe failure of the National Assembly<\/a> to promptly and thoroughly investigate, and to refer to appropriate anti-corruption agencies the allegations documented in the annual audited report for 2016 is a fundamental breach of the oversight and public interest duties imposed on the legislative body.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe National Assembly has no legally justifiable reason to refuse to investigate the allegations documented by the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The suit was filed on behalf of SERAP by its lawyers Kolawole Oluwadare and Kehinde Oyewumi.<\/p>\n

No date has been fixed for the hearing of the suit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
