The lawmaker representing Ahoada East Constituency one in the Rivers
state House of Assembly, Martins Mannah has described the 2019 budget of
the State as a scam.

Mannah, who addressed newsmen after the budget presentation, said little or nothing was achieved with the 2018 budget.

He
further said the newly presented budget may face the challenge of
implementation, adding that there is a misplaced priority in the budget
because security is expected to lead.

“The 2019 budget of the Wike Government is another scam. N480bn?

“The
Governor is presenting N480billion when the 2018 budget has achieved
nothing. All we have been seeing are patching of roads. No major project
anywhere in the state.

“A state that claims to be generating employment is giving only 4billion naira to Agriculture.

“Let
me tell you, during the budget 2018 defence here, one on the Ministries
got 6billion naira in 2017 and we asked them what they did with their
allocation, the Commissioner of that Ministry said they did not receive
one naira from the Rivers state government. So, this 2019 will be the
same.”

Governor Nyesom Wike on Monday presented the 2019
Appropriation Bill of N480.42 billion to the State House of Assembly for
consideration.
