Checking out 'Don't lie, senators earn N15m monthly - Sagay to Lawan' on The Nation Newspaper Community:
The Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay , has asked the President of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan, to stop misleading Nigerians, adding that senators earned N15m monthly and not N750,000 as claimed by Lawan.
Speaking with our correspondent on Wednesday, however, Sagay said Nigerians were more interested in how much senators take home monthly in salaries and allowances. Sagay said, “I respect and like him , but what he has done is to give half-truth. He is telling us the actual salary without mentioning anything about the allowances.
“So, technically, he is right. That is their salary. But what is his income, take-home pay, at the end of the month? It is about N15m and we are not including many other things we need talk about now.”The PACAC chairman, who was the first to expose the jumbo pay of federal lawmakers, said he was still trying to ascertain the allowances of principal officers.
