Tax Reform Bill: We need senators like Ndume – Sen Uzor Kalu

 Former Abia State Governor, Orji Uzor Kalu, has faulted
critics of his colleague, the senator representing Borno South Ali Ndume over
his outspokenness on national issues such as the controversial tax reform bill.

 

Speaking in an interview with Arise News on Monday, Kalu
stated that Nigerians need people like Ndume.

 

“We need senators like Ndume who will raise our conscience.
I respect Senator Ndume very well.

 

“Those who tell Senator Ndume to shut up are not being kind
to democracy, democracy is not about one voice but about multiple voices. It is
the government being guided by the majority of the people and Ndume is one of
them.

 

“He is a strong voice, the senate president didn’t shut him
up”.

 

Recall that the northern lawmaker, among others, have openly
called for the withdrawal of the bills on the grounds that they do not reflect
the region’s interests.

 

However, the Abia North senator defended the tax reform bill
stating that it would restore Fiscal Federalism.

 

He pointed out that the initiators of the bills could have
briefed the Council of State, the Economic Council and the Forum of Governors
before making it public to Nigerians.
