I am yet to see the heading of the offence under which Budget Padding falls into.
I can only see this budget padding as an Executive negligence if not the worst Executive recklessness from the inception of this country.
A budget as a Bill when passed and assented to becomes an Act (law) of the National Assembly, and whatever happened at the preliminary stages of enacting such a law cannot be questioned by any legislator or even investigated as a crime by the law enforcement agencies.
There is no morality in law.
There is no more crime in the budget padding.
I think all this noise about budget padding is a mere distraction from the economic hardship and bad governance being experienced by the poor masses.
This government is simply diverting our attention to irrelevant issues and we are all falling for it.
Padding is currently not a crime, but a moral issue on those legislators that perpetrated such acts. It would've been a major issue if it was addressed before the President signed the budget.
Abeg my people, let's keep talking about the economic hardship facing us and this government lack of focus and non existent economic blue print.
