Nigeria Senate on Tuesday received executive communication on the 2017-2019 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper for the second time in three weeks.
In a motion by deputy Senate Leader, Bala Ibn’Nallah, he sought for consideration of the MTEF document resent by the executive, having been rejected earlier by the Senate.
“That the Senate do consider the request of Mr. President and C-in-C on the 2017-2019 Medium Term Expenditure Frame work (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper in accordance with the Fiscal Responsibility’ Act, 2007,” he said.
In a wild reaction to the debate, Dino Melaye described Buhari as being dishonest to Nigerians, insisting that the projections was not realistic and conjured to deceive the upper chambers.
He urged the Senate to throw away the document for the second time.
“This MTEF is a lie, its not truthful, it not transparent and nobody should sit down here to be deceived by Buhari,” Dino said.
”Senate President, I am ready to say the truth and die by the truth rather than toe the line of lies as far as this document from the executive is concerned, ” he added.
Dino took a swipe on the Minister of Budget and National Planning for not knowing about huge debts the nation is dragged into by the present administration.
