Rep minority leader raises alarm over leaking chamber
Honourable Ndudi Godwin Elumelu, the Minority leader of the House of Representatives, has raised an alarm over the danger posed to the safety of lawmakers by the ruined state of the legislative chamber.
The minority leader raised the concern on Wednesday under matter of privileges, noting that several leakages in the roof above the chamber posed a grave danger to lawmakers’ safety during plenary.
His words: “If something is not done to address it, nobody owns one’s life, but we never can tell what can happen. Coming into this place you can see the cleaners, they are busy packing (mopping) the water that is coming down from this (roof) chamber.
“And to me, it is dangerous for our continuous participation in our day-to-day representation of our people, speaking for our people, for good legislation.
“So I think that Mr Speaker, something needs to be done to address these leakages that we are having within this chamber, this is my submission.
