Senator Ajayi Borrofice representing Ondo central on Tuesday said that it was wrong to assume that the N8.64 billion was for lawmakers’ wardrobe.
According to THIS DAY, the Senator said the N8.64billion included miscellaneous or regular allowances and not only their wardrobe allowance. According to him, the sum will cover other allowances such as motor vehicle fuelling and maintenance, wardrobe, domestic staff, personal assistant, constituency office, house maintenance, utilities and entertainment, among other perks, for the entire 469 lawmakers in the National Assembly.
Borrofice added that it was wrong to assume that monies being paid as allowances to lawmakers were given for free, saying such allowances are deducted in tranches from their salaries.
