2014 Budget Is Designed To Enrich Jonathan And His Aides – Saraki
Senator Bukola Saraki has taken a swipe at the 2014 budget as presented by the Federal Government. According to him, the budget submitted to the National 
Assembly is a sham as its anti- people, fraudulent and makes mockery of the so called transformation agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan .
An obviously livid Saraki wondered why a budget would make a provision of 4.7 Billion to Nigerian army to fight insurgency, Boko Haram and general insecurity but over 50 Billion to compensate ex-Militants.
Saraki said, ” why would a budget provide a paltry 4.7bn naira for security and a huge sum for ex- militant? Why would the government budget 50bn naira for militant?
Speaking further, he said the provision of almost 2M naira for a desktop computer by the coordinating Minister ,Nkozi Okonjo-Iweala is out of this world.
“A budget that wants to procure 15 desktop computers for 30m, which translates to 2m per unit. What type of government does that? A budget that wants to pay millions to maintain generators in Nigerian embassy in places like United Kingdom . This is laughable”.
