Hon. Benjamin Kalu, member representing Bende Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives and the spokesperson for the house of Reps, in an interview on Flo Fm 94.9, Umuahia, reacted to the backlog of salaries owed civil servants in some parastatals in the state.
Responding to questions fed about the plight of Abia workers, Hon. Kalu said: “If they are owed salaries, they should be paid! That is what governance is all about. Unless they are having difficulty and if so, they have to strategize and prioritize.
“There is no task achieved by my friend, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu’s administration that is far better than putting bread for the people who have worked for the state, there is nothing more important than paying of salaries. So, they should cut out other projects and ensure that salaries are paid.” Kalu advised.
“The provision of the constitution is that if you are in power, you take care of the security and welfare of citizens. Welfare includes having food on their table and that is the primary purpose of government. The most important thing for this government is to make sure that every labour is entitled to his wages and those wages must be paid.” Hon. Kalu said.
Hon. Kalu also advised Abia state government to prioritize, and that if there is limited resources, just as it is in other states of the country, “the formula to be used in achieving that is the constitutional provision” that is the security and welfare of the citizens is paramount.
