Nigerians Taking Lawmakers For Granted - Senator Orji Uzor-Kalu fumes

The Senate chief whip said he is also affected by the biting hardship and has since tightened his belt.

He said, โ€œThe Assembly does not control any money. We sign the budget and it goes to the MDAs. For me I have tightened my belt.

โ€œBefore, I usually thought these lawmakers just sat there. But thereโ€™s a lot of work going on there. Iโ€™m telling you the truth,โ€ Uzor-Kalu noted.

In an attempt to describe the level of work done by lawmakers to keep the nation running, the senator said he sometimes leaves work as late as 11 pm.

โ€œSo, people take Senators and House of Reps members for granted.

โ€œBut itโ€™s not supposed to be like that. We should be respected. We agreed that weโ€™re not the people running the countryโ€™s economy.

โ€œOur duty is to make law, another arm of the government will execute the laws weโ€™ve made,โ€ he added.
