The Senator representing Abia North in the National Assembly, Orji Uzor Kalu, has described as untrue the popular belief that Senators own official cars.
The lawmaker discussed the issue when he appeared on
Thursday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today.
Federal lawmakers have been
repeatedly accused of being insensitive to the plight of the people.
There is the popular claim that the National Assembly members live in affluence despite the state of the economy.
However, Kalu said the lawmakers have no official vehicles,
insisting that only committees receive vehicles.
“I am in the Senate and a lot of things are said about the
Senators and I sit there quietly and watch, and most of these things are not
true.
“All I know is that committees get vehicles, no lawmaker is
given any vehicle,” the Senator said.
