By Web News 384

By Mosope Kehinde

Oyo State House of Assembly Committee on Public Account has challenged local government authorities in the state to be more thorough and follow due process in the handling of state finances.

Chairman, the Public Account Committee of the Assembly, Mr Rahman Olorunpoto gave the warning at the end of a one-week Legislative hearing on consideration of the Auditors-General’s reports on the account of local governments for the year 2021, and 2022.

Mr. Olorunpoto, who said the exercise was not to witch-hunt anyone but a due process to ensure accountability and transparency in public funds, said all the 33 local governments and LCDA principal officers were duly interrogated.

He said the report of the exercise would be submitted to the House during plenary which the 10th assembly will consider.

Mr. Olorunpoto said there were lots of avoidable errors in their papers, thereby calling for the need for capacity development, training and retraining, as well as ICT Empowerment for local government workers

“I want to tell you that there is no intention to witch-hunt, all that we’re trying to do is to ensure that our books are up to date. We also want to ensure that things are done properly. Apart from auditing figures, we also want to audit the process, we want to know what led to what, at what point paper A moved to the next office and through what means. We need to know that you’re working in line with the necessary processes.

“We have been mandated by the constitution to engage ministries, departments and agencies of the state and local government to review the auditor general’s reports 

“Whatever we want to do, let’s do the right thing. We’re poised to score important points for accountability and transparency for this government. We want to be sure that we can boost of our records 

The committee chairman, who hinted that the Assembly would work towards digital means of engaging the MDAs and LG authorities in future exercises, told the council chairmen to also go digital in record keeping.

“We have dealt with more than 500 documents hard copies in the last 5 days. This is not something that should continue. Our shelves are already filled up with documents, so we want to see how we can get them to go Digital. When they go Digital with documentation, they should also go digital with IGR collections, so we will be able to block leakages.

Speaking with newsmen, the ALGON Chairman, Mr Sikiru Sanda and his Ogo Oluwa LG counterpart, Mr. Oluwaseun Ojo expressed confidence that the exercise would rebirth the consciousness of elected and career officers at the local government levels to judiciously use and account for public funds

OYHA States Imperative of Judicious Use of Public Fund

By Web News 378

By Mosope Kehinde 

Oyo State House of Assembly will ensure the judicious use of public funds to appropriate sectors and leave no stone un-turned in ensuring that the dividends of democracy spread across the state.

Deputy Speaker, Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Abiodun Fadeyi stated this while reacting to the report of an Ad-Hoc Committee  constituted in the 9th Assembly to investigate the account of stewardship of chairmen of Local Government Areas and Local Development Areas between May, 2018 to June 2019.

He added that the 10th Assembly in Oyo State would intensify efforts that will pave ways for the development already put in place by the present administration under the Omituntun 2.0 initiatives and brings meaningful life styles to the downtrodden and the entire citizenry of the state.

Presenting the report, the lawmaker representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju State Constituency, and Vice Chairman of the Ad-Hoc Committee Hon. Bamidele Adeola explained that the task given to the committee members was basically to investigate the activities of the Chairmen that were in the office between the year 2015 and 2018. According to him, the investigation was carried out with the fear of God. 

He noted that “The Ad-Hoc Committee conducted the investigation between Tuesday, 25th February, to Monday, 16th March, 2020 via the spot assessment visit to various Local Government Areas and Local Council Developments Areas with a view to inspecting some of the physical projects executed within the period under review”.  

He stated further: “The rationale behind the investigation was to assess the use of Local Government Funds on some of the projects executed and the economic impact of those projects on communities at Local Government levels”.

Hon. Adeola, who revealed that the report should have been presented in the 9th Assembly but was delayed due to some of the activities of the Assembly, explained that:

 “The 10th Assembly pursuant to Order, X11 Rule 95 of the Standing Rules of the Oyo State House of Assembly delved into the records of report of the  9th  Assembly on the report of the Ad – Hoc Committee that investigated the Accounts of Stewardship and activities of the Chairmen of LGAs and LCDAs between 2018 and June, 2019 and resolved to present the report that was not determined before the expiration of the 9th Assembly”

In the report, the lawmaker confirmed that some of the projects inspected lack economic value and not impactful on the residents of the Communities.

“For example a Television Viewing Centre was renovated in Irawo-Ile, a remote area in Atisbo Local Government worth #9.6 million without chairs and other facilities in the hall for the Local Government to generate revenue. The assessment of the project revealed that the community did not need such project.” He added.

The report stated further that some Local Government Areas and LCDAs spent from their stabilisation funds without seeking approval, as it was revealed that some of them used the fund between April and May 201 after March 9th  Governorship election in the state .

As part of recommendation for approval, the Ad-Hoc Committee, however, urged the House to  ensure that the concerned LGAs and LCDAs that spent stabilisation funds without approval and found culpable be sanctioned accordingly by the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters.
