The Elites Network for Sustainable Development (ENetSuD), an anti-corruption Civil Society Organisation (CSO) has written a letter to the Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly (KWHA), Rt. Hon. Yakubu Salihu-Danladi, over the unlawful contract appointment of Hajia Jummai Kperogi and the continued extension of her tenure as Clerk to the House following her retirement from office.
The letter was also copied to the Attorney General of Kwara and the Chairman of the House of Assembly Service Commission.
In a letter written and signed by ENetSuD’s Director of Legal Services , Barrister Lukman Raji, described the contract appointment of Hajia Kperogi as unlawful.
According to ENetSuds by section 9 of the Kwara State House of Assembly Service Commission Law 2018 (as amended), only a Director who is on Grade Level 17 and above can be appointed as Clerk to the House, not a Retiree or Contract Staff.
ENetSuD added that the Power of the House is to make resolution, not to ratify contract appointment.
