SERAP Dares Buhari To Prove His Integrity, By Regularly And Widely Publishing Full Accounts Of Projected And Actual Government Revenues And Expenditures

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP, has on Sunday, written an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, asking him to cut down the cost of governance, and implement bold transparency and accountability measures in response to Nigeria’s second recession in 5 years, under his watch,

This was disclosed in a statement signed by the Deputy Director of SERAP, Kolawole Oluwadare.

The statement read in part: “Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has sent an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari urging him to put the country’s resources at the service of human rights, and to support the less well-off to enjoy an adequate standing of living through cutting the cost of governance and implementing bold transparency and accountability measures in your government’s response to Nigeria’s recession.”

SERAP said that the economic crisis rocking the nation, provides an opportunity to prioritise access of poor and vulnerable Nigerians to basic socio-economic rights, and to genuinely recommit to the fight against corruption.

It noted: “Implementing human rights, transparency and accountability measures would save money, address projected adverse human rights impacts of the recession, and fast-track the economic recovery process.

“Decades of mismanagement and corruption, and deep-seated deficiencies in public financial management have directly contributed to higher levels of borrowing and public debts, and consequently, the economic recession. Successive governments have squandered the promise afforded by the country’s natural wealth and resources.”

The group further stated that the paltry resources Nigeria invests in essential public goods and services that would benefit ordinary Nigerians, can be partly explained by the “high spending of public funds to finance a life of luxury for members of the National Assembly, State Governors, and other ‘powerful’ Politicians”.

SERAP said that it is seriously concerned about the adverse consequences of the economic crisis on the human rights of poor and vulnerable Nigerians, including denying them access to essential public goods and services, such as healthcare, education, clean water, and regular electricity supply.

It stated that it would be grateful, if the Federal Government “begins to implement the recommended action and measures within 14 days of the receipt and/or publication of this letter. If we have not heard from you by then as to the steps being taken in this direction, SERAP shall take all appropriate legal actions to compel your government to implement these recommendations for the sake of human rights, transparency, and accountability”.

According to SERAP, prioritising the human rights of poor and vulnerable Nigerians, means  providing public goods and services free of charge for those who cannot afford them.

“This is the time to prioritise poor and vulnerable Nigerians, and to ensure that any response to the recession goes well beyond bailing out large companies and banks”, the statement added.

SERAP also urged President Buhari to do the following in order to cut the cost of governance, and solve the problem of recession:

Increase investment in public health, the healthcare system, education services, provision of clean water, and other basic public goods and services that will benefit the majority of the population;

Re-direct budgetary allocations to renovate the National Assembly complex and take urgent steps to ensure that essential public goods and services are available to poor and vulnerable Nigerians;

Improve transparency and quality of the information in government budgets and reform public financial management to bring it in line with international standards, and safeguard the right of media and civil society to speak out against corruption and human rights abuses;

Direct the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) to urgently undertake a downward review of remuneration and allowances of all political office holders including President, Vice-President state governors and their deputies, and members of the National Assembly, consistent with the provisions of paragraph N, 32[c][d] of the Third Schedule, Part 1 of the Nigerian Constitution;

Regularly and widely publish full accounts of projected and actual government revenues and expenditures;

Immediately instruct the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to jointly investigate allegations of systemic and widespread corruption in MDAs, as documented by the Auditor-General of the Federation, and to ensure effective prosecution of those suspected to be involved, and recovery of any stolen public funds;

Ensure independence of the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation i.Regularly and widely publish full accounts of projected and actual government revenues and expenditures;
