Dear @solomon_rep,
I saw saw the proposed bill you presented at @HouseNGR. My question is simple: How is this bill going to change the ineffectiveness of the LGA? How will further disempowerment of the LGA get it closer to the people?
Has the @HouseNGR ever challenged State Gvnors for not releasing funds to their LGA? If Gvnors do not give the funds that a constitutionally the right of the LGA, how then do you think they will fund it when it isn't a constitutional tier of Govt? These should be how we think
We should ask questions first when a problem exists, after which we can investigate one state in each region, then you have the appropriate committee brainstorm on d best cause for action that gets governance to the people. This eliminates any short sightedness in pushing a bill
Has d LGA elections been a reflection of the people's will? Why is the LGA election held by the SEC rather than by INEC? Why do we have all LGA in a state like Lagos owning a broom? Similarly some states having most LGA if not all using an umbrella? We should ask these questions
This brings me to the real reason why the LGA has continues to fail.
It has fail mainly because "The State Joint Local Government Account(SJLGA)"
When the LGA has revenue in its jurisdiction but the state govt fight them over jurisdiction. They can't get their own IGR.
