The Elites Network for Sustainable Development (ENetSuD) has urged the Kwara State government to establish a Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PUCACC) in the state.
The group noted that there is a need to fight corruption institutionally, saying corruption is the major reason the level of growth and development does not commensurate with public funds spent by successive administrations since the return of democracy.
The Kwara state governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq has presented a budget proposal of N123,091,307,468 to the House of Assembly.
He described the fiscal document as a product of wide consultations with the electorate and designed to reflect current economic challenges.
The proposal contains provisions for payment of the minimum wage once the government reaches a deal with the labour as well as effecting promotion for different cadres of the civil service.
The budget is 54% recurrent expenditure and 46% capital expenditure, a fallout of the dwindling revenue from oil and internally generated revenue, and urgency to prioritise anti-poverty measures to cushion the effects of the general economic crisis on vulnerable households and small businesses amidst the covid-19 pandemic.
