Ibadan, Dec 22, 2020 Gov. Seyi Makinde on Tuesday inaugurated the Oyo Anti-Corruption Agency (OYACA) to curb fraudulent conduct in the state public service.
Recall that Makinde, upon assumption of office in 2019, said that the state under his watch would establish its own anti- corruption agency to ensure probility, accountability and good governance.
The governor signed the state’s Anti Corruption Bill into law on Dec.12, 2019, after its passage by the state House of Assembly.
During the inauguration of OYACA in Ibadan, Makinde said that the law was primarily directed at sanitising the public civil service.
According to him, the law will ensure that public and civil servants at the state and local government levels carry out their responsibilities without institutionalised corruption.
actual vote. how do you think that that debate is playing out right now? so, i think what s unrealistic is to offer more of the same businesses as usual. and think you re going to inspire people to get out and vote. some people are scared. if they re not hard core democrat. i might be interested in a democrat. and what warren is saying scares me. i m thinking of democrats, independents and republicans. who are ready for an anticorruption bill. i m not talking about folks in washington. folks across the nation. democrats independents and republicans. who support a two cent wealth tax. democrats, independents and republicans who want to see us increase social security payment. i have that $200 a month for everybody on social security and disability. start with the things that we agree on. that s how we can win. we can win the democrats.
of this congress and remind my friends on the other side of the island the american people that we have passed nearly 400 pieces of legislation since democrats took the majority. 275 of those bills are bipartisan. they range in legislation to drive down the cost of prescription drugs, to protect coverage for pre-existing conditions, provide equal pay for equal work, to raise the minimum wage for 33 million americans. the biggest anticorruption bill since watergate. legislation to restore net neutrality, to respond to the climate crisis, universal background checks. the recently completed negotiations on the new trade deals with that list is exhaustive. sadly, 80% of those bills are lying on mitch mcconnell s desk awaiting action so i urge my colleagues to maybe instead of trying to mischaracterize what is one of the most productive congresses in modern history, we ought to assert some energy in persuading mitch mcconnell to do his job i bring those bills to the floor. let s get back to
repriese. i want to quickly respond to the gentleman from ohio s la mea lamenting. 275 of the bills are bipartisan. they range in legislation to drive down the cost of transcription drugs tot protec coverage for precysting kpns, equal pay for equal work. raising thewo minimal wage, the biggest, anticorruption bill since watergate. and we recently completed negotiations on the new trade deal. the list is exhaustive. 80% of those are laying on mitch mcconnell s desk waiting for action. we ought to assert some energy
and that is to ramrod through a rewrite of the tax laws that will profoundly affect goldman sachs. what does goldman sachs do as gary walks out the door? they hand him nearly a quarter of a billion dollars. it s a gift. they don t have to. is it legal bribery? i think of it as a pre-bribe. pre-bribe? yes. so then gary goes out and guess what he does. he writes a tax law and manages to help ramrod it through that benefits goldman sachs to the tune of, oh, a quarter of a billion dollars in the first go around. and then it s the gift that keeps on giving. what you re saying makes sense and we have such ripe targets i think people could understand what you re pointing to. but what does it mean for the democratic party if this was also how obama and clinton ran the treasury? would you be a fundamental break with that is the question. the problem i have written the biggest anticorruption bill since watergate. because we have a fundamental problem in washington.
