Osun State Assembly assures workers that outstanding salaries will be paid soon

Osun State House of Assembly has assured its workers that
the relief package given to the state would be judiciously
administered, saying that they would soon have their
outstanding salaries paid, while the work-in-progress of
public infrastructure would be attended to.
It also vowed to drive the anti-corruption crusade with its
oversight functions, promising to break bureaucratic
difficulties, which are capable of dragging development at
a slow pace.
The speaker, Hon. Najeem Salaam, in a statement by his
Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Goke Butikakuro, stressed that
the parliament under his watch was more than ready to
bring all ministries, departments and agencies to account
on how budgetary funds appropriated to them were
managed with a view to getting them to be on their toes
and be accountable to the public.
Salaam reiterated that the state parliament has taken the
first leg of its anti-corruption crusade through the passage
of the procurement bill into law, stating that the law when
signed by Governor Rauf Aregbesola would drive the
processes of contract award, purchases of the government
and other state transactions; noting that punitive
measures were well spelt out for the transgressors. The
Speaker also disclosed that the parliament would obtain
the report of ongoing workers’ audit and frisk it in order to
be updated on the actual numerical strength of the work
force of the state with a view to giving rough tackles to the
would-be manipulators of the process.
He expressed the support of assembly to Gov. Aregbesola in
plugging all the financial leakages and cutting of cost of
governance.
