The epileptic Government of Kogi State and delay in 2017 budget presentation.

Governor Yahaya Bello, the first
youthful governor of Kogi State with no prior political experience is not ready
to learn on the job as evident in the eplieptic Government of Kogi State and delay in 2017 budget presentation. The delay in presentation of the 2017 Appropriation
bill by the Kogi State Governor might worsen the standard of living of the people of Kogi
State.
I feel strongly that with the epileptic Government of Kogi State and delay in 2017 budget presentation, the level of corrupt practices in
this government might increase owing to the late implementation of capital
votes, spending without appropriation thereby scuttle proper monitoring of
budget implementation. At a time when a majority of state assemblies have
received the 2017 budget proposals submitted by their various governors into law,
and even the slow-paced President Muhammadu Buhari has submitted the federal
government’s proposal as well, nothing has happened in Kogi State.
