Abuja-The Chairman, Senate Services Committee, Sunday Karimi , has dismissed public outcry over the purchase of Prado Landcruiser Sports Utility Vehicles, SUVs, for 469 federal lawmakers as misplaced.“He expressed disappointment over the media frenzy, which followed the exposure of details of the vehicle purchase deal which has become a quadrennial ritual.
He also described public attention on the utility vehicles of lawmakers as unfair because the situation was worse at the executive level where ministers who weren’t elected rode in a convoy of several of such vehicles without a whimper from either the media or the public.
“It is not the decisions of the senators alone, we did an analysis before arriving at the land cruiser. It was based on a comparative analysis of the cost of technical issues and durability on Nigerian roads, are you getting me?.
