Nigerian singer cum politician, Banky W who is the candidate of the
Modern Democratic Party (MDP), contesting for the Eti-Osa House
of Representatives seat, has vowed to publish his earnings as a
legislator if elected.
Banky W, made the announcement while speaking during a debate
against four other candidates in Lagos on Monday, February 4, 2019
where he said accountability is one of the biggest problems in
governance and hopes to lead from the front to change the
situation. He vowed to publish his salary and allowances as a
legislator and be transparent in the spending of constituency
allocations by consulting regularly with the people.
In his words, “most of us don’t know who our representatives are,
talk less of their salary and allowances and constituency
allocations that they receive every year most of the time to enrich
themselves.
How I plan to address it myself directly is first of all, I’ll publish
what I earn as a legislator my salary, my allowance, the allocation
given to Eti-Osa, I will publish it.
We will have town halls and an active constituency office to engage
the community to say this is the allocation that we’ve received, this
is what we intend to spend it on.”
