Osun state Governor-elect, former Senator Ademola Adeleke on Wednesday submitted that it was not wrong for the State House of Assembly to begin the 2023 Budget debate saying the House of Assembly has a constitutional role to play.
Responding to enquiries in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by his spokesman, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, the Governor-elect posited that the legislators were elected to treat and process bills including appropriation bill from the executive arm of government.
‘ As a former lawmaker myself, I support the legislature as an arm of government that is independent and must be allowed to do its job of legislation and appropriation. So there is nothing unusual if the House of Assembly is processing 2023 budget proposal.
The legislative process provides for supplementary budgetary action including executive bill proposing amendments to any Appropriation Act. So we are not worried at all.
If anything, we want to encourage the Assembly to continue the processing of subsisting bills’ the statement noted- Team@orientactualmags.com
