Call on Murtala Garo To Give  Account of  His Stewardship As Commissioner in Kano State , My View

By Storm Mbarka 

The call by  Save Kano Group  an NGO led by  Alhaji Shuaiyb Darki on the immediate past Kano State  Commissioner  for Local Governments and Chieftancy Affairs Alhaji Murtala Sule Garo  to give account of the  stewardship ship

of what  was spent under his supervision as the Commissioner 

should not be seen from a  vindintive perspective.

Giving  Account of how a  Public servant

appropriated Public funds  during his or her  tenure in office  should be made constitutional and compulsory instead of the way it is being treated presently 

kid gloves to look at those who take utmost interest in doing that as  trouble shooters or  witch hunters,

The idea of thinking that there is no need for that scrutiny is a

clever way to avoid Justice, which will  not help Nigeria to come out of the economic conodrum we found ourselves due to the actions and inactions of bad Political leaders.

Public office holders must be ready to tender verifiable documents and data to 

convince any inquisitive mind and statutory bodies like EfCC at the end of their tenure to show that they were indeed transparent and magnanimous towards the betterment of the masses when they occupied such  offices .

 

May l racall with nostalgia that  

Public Servants who served meritoriously like late Mallam Aminu Kano in the second republic were always happy to give the report of their stewàrdship any time they were called upon to do so. 

May l also stress that ,Only people like Bakinzuwo , a Former Governor of Kano and his co travelers  that  will be glad to support  stoppage of Stewardship Report.

National Assembly, Oga  Senators, President Ahmed Lawan and Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, please,enact a law now in this 9th Assembly to make it compulsory for all Public officers to give Account of their stewàrdship when ever they leave Office.

No body should see this engagement  as  punishment. Accountability is one of the pillars of democracy and it  is a  very good idea to sanitize the  Nigeria Political space that is currently grappling with the menace and Malaise of corruption.

Nigeria must be great

God bless the giant of Africa
