QUORUM: The Irresponsibility Of Some Senators
The Senate was supposed to resume plenary yesterday, the 22nd of January, but there was no session due mainly to the inability of the House to form a quorum. Almost 98 of the 109 senators had failed to show up for plenary!
For the Senate chamber to sit, at least one-third of members are expected to be present. That's the Senate (and of course, the House of Reps) quorum.
But against focusing on the quorum, I'll be beaming my searchlight rather on the failure of the House not to have formed the quorum in the first place.
It is to be condemned that some people, elected, paid with taxpayers money and saddled with the duty to sit and make laws, with careless abandon left their responsibility. There was no excuse as to have warranted the absence of senators to have come up for plenary.
It is very much detestable and a show of irresponsibility that with all the monies they receive, that some senators could have the guts to abandon their roles, for whatever reason.
Nigeria must be saved!
