Dogara releases pay slips for six months
Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the house of representatives, has released his pay slips for six months.
The pay slips were on Tuesday released by Turaki Hassan, his spokesperson.
The documents showed the breakdown of the speaker’s salary for October, November, December 2016 and January, February, March 2017.
According to the documents, Dogara earns about N300,000 after tax deductions have been made.
The release of the pay slips comes 24 hours after Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna, published the breakdown of his security vote among other items.
El-Rufai had also called on principal officers of the national assembly to follow suit.
“Governor Nasir El-Rufai would like to reiterate his call for the NASS leadership to do the same and disclose the details of the National Assembly budget, and the salaries and allowances of its leadership,” he had said.
“The call to #OpenNASS is not a personal one. It is one which the leadership of the national assembly owes to all Nigerians. It is therefore disingenuous for the speaker to use state government budgets as the excuse for the opacity of the NASS budget. There is no state government in Nigeria with a budget nearly as opaque as that of NASS. In March 2016, this national assembly, led by its chairman, promised to provide a detailed breakdown of the national assembly budget. Nigerians are waiting.”
But Dogara only released his pay slips.
Open NASS we demand now.
That is simply drawing wool over our eyes. The stealing n looting is done through questionable allowances and other invisible channels. They should make public their budget.
If he truly disclosed his payslip, why was his account details into which the salaries are paid hidden from public, something is still unclear.????
Good start. We’re getting somewhere. Transparency and accountability from leaders holding public trust must be made to electorates even by the leaders throwing challenges to themselves. While El rufa’i must be commended for throwing the challenge Dogara should be respected for showing that he is equel to the task. Who’s next?
It is not the basic salary that we are asking for but allowances if they are honest and sincere let them publish the entire take home these people are not helping this country governors inclusive they known where they make their money they cannot disclose that we cannot be deceived

Dogara think everybody is dull and foolish. While is it that all the slip are stamped 11/04/2017? What is APC deduction is it only APC that are House of REP answer for the gods.
How much are the allowance and other pecks. Can the house member truly say they are living within these means. How much is the house budget?. #stop deceiving Nigeria. #make the assembly budget public. You are representative of the people. The people ought to know
Is it wit dis salary they buy their expensive houses and other non official bullet proof cars.
Mr. Speaker. It is not your salary alone we are interested in. Release every detail, including allowances. That where the fraud is suspected to be taking place.
Do that if you think you are transparent and want to reply El-Rufai.
