The President of the Senate, Dr. Ahmad Lawan, yesterday debunked the allegation that the leadership of the National Assembly alongside members collect huge sums of money to pass the controversial Petroleum Industry Bill into law.
Dr. Lawan also said that while people are enjoying the freedom of expression, they are in the habit of ridiculing government.
The President of the Senate described as funny and serious reports that he and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, allegedly collected bribe of $10 million for members of the National Assembly to pass the PIB that was last week signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Recall that the National Assembly recently passed the PIB and approved three per cent for host communities despite calls from various quarters that the provisions made for host communities should be reviewed upward.
