The Progressive People's Alliance (PPA)
on Thursday expressed disappointment over the spate of allegations of
bribery rocking the National Assembly.The National Chairman, Sam Nkire, who
made the condemnation in an interview in Abuja, described the
allegations "as not only shameful but also a terrible commentary on the
nation's legislative institution".
According to him, it is quite
disgraceful that the leadership of both legislative houses have never
sanctioned members implicated in any of these allegations.
He called on the leadership of the
National Assembly to redeem its image by suspending all those members
who had cases to answer.
The chairman said this had become imperative in order not to leave the public with the impression that it condoned corruption.
`` The NASS should realise that the
public is anxious to know what steps it will take in respect of its
members implicated in the power, SEC and fuel subsidy probes," he said.
He urged the Federal Government to make sure that those involved in looting the country did not go unpunished.
