Efcc To Become Truly Independent: Senate President Presents Motion

The double standand employed by EFCC in the selective prosecution of corrupt politicians may soon be a thing of the past. Reminiscent of his epoch-making speak that spelt the dealt knell of the infamous third term, the Senate president has again risen to the ocassion by lending his voice and support to the complaint by concerned Nigerians about the dubious way the EFCC has been conducting its affairs of late. The Senate president was particularly disturbed that commission's independence is being eroded with its romance with the Federal Government, adding that the Act that created it did not meant its independence to be compromised.
Excerpt from his motion to the senate: "We must be worried when there is credible evidence that its independence is being eroded. By the principles of constitutional democracy such an agency that is created by an Act of the legislature to undertake specifically defined purposes becomes an independent agency, and not part of the Presidency. Because they are supposed to be independent from control by the Executive, these agencies are often referred to as the 'Fourth Branch' of government. The EFCC Act 2004 does not authorise the agency to submit list of indicted persons to the Presidency but only permits it to go to court and prosecute persons alleged to have engaged in economic and financial crimes."

I see,So He knows how to move motions.
I can see they are on his neck,they want to get him too,so he is now clamouring for the commission to be independent,Where have they (The senators) been all the while,when the commision was operating,I support the motion but after they have cut mark himself.
They have realised now that Jonathan and Baba can now wield the Big axe to make them bow....

Is it going to be independent like INEC is independent or REALLY independent ?.

Really independent? There are some light years to come Doc. When the Lawmakers themselves have to grovel or resort to scandalous actions to get finances for their jobs !! No it is just playing to the national gallery.
