…We are committed to our responsibilities, Assembly spokesman insists
Okon Bassey in Uyo
The Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO) in Akwa Ibom State has alleged that the seventh state House of Assembly ‘is too weak’ to be called an arm of a government in a democratic setting.
The state Chairman of the CLO, Mr. Franklin Isong, made the allegation yesterday while interacting with journalists in Uyo, the state capital.
Isong alleged that the Assembly lacked initiative to carry out its oversight functions, just as a member of the Assembly also anonymously side with the CLO, claiming that the state Assembly is now like one of the Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs) of the state government.
