Senate has pledged to expose corruption and ensure good governance in the country.
Speaking at the beginning
of the second session of the Seventh Senate on Wednesday, the President
of the Senate, David Mark, promised that the upper chamber would commit
itself to its primary role of making laws that would improve the living
conditions of Nigerians.
He said, “This Senate will
continue to work to expose corruption and poor administration in all
areas of our national life. This is our constitutional duty. We must not
allow ourselves to be cajoled into slumber or succumb to blackmail in
the discharge of our duties. We will do all we can to uphold
transparency and integrity in governance.
“In this regard, all
pending investigations should be speedily concluded without compromising
thoroughness and detail. We will however continue to bring all
requisite legislative pressure to bear on the right quarters to do the
right things with our reports.”
Mark also told senators to
brace for executing their oversight functions in the same manner the
budget was passed in the bid to ensure infrastructural transformation of
the country.
Mark also said Senate would
improve on its achievements made in the electoral reforms articulated
by the Sixth National Assembly, vowing that loopholes in the current
electoral laws would be plugged by further review of the laws.
