Zamfara house standing committee on finance and appropriation has vowed to deal decisively with the Chairman of Zamfara State Transport Authority, Alhaji Aminu Papa for failing to appear before the committee to defend Authority’s 2022 appropriation estimate.
The committee chairman Shamsu Hassan Basko who stated this on Tuesday wondered why the chairman of the authority refused to appear before the committee, saying, it is a clear contempt of the legislative institution.
He said by not showing up to the finance and appropriation committee of the House, his committee will not hesitate to allocate zero amounts to the authority in 2022 fiscal year.
He expressed his dismay with the negligence attitude of some revenue generating agencies such as the state mass transit authority for not remitting what is expected of them to remit.
He declared that, as from next year any revenue generating agency that failed to remit the expected revenue from it, the appropriation committee will allocate no kobo to such agency.
He said the law will definitely take its course against the erring chairman of Zamfara State Transport Authority to serve as deterrent to others.
