Nigerian House Caucus Raises Alarm Over Alleged Alteration of Tax Law, Sparks Controversy
The House Caucus in Nigeria has raised alarm over discrepancies in the gazetted tax law, accusing an alteration that undermines legislative authority. The caucus insists that the altered version differs from the one passed by the National Assembly, highlighting concerns of executive interference.
Hon. Afam Ogen, chairman of the ad hoc committee on tax law, emphasized the commitment to upholding legislative independence. Following public outrage, investigations have been initiated to address the alleged illegal alterations, with key members like Hon. Abdulsamad Dasuki and Hon. Kingsley Chinda leading the efforts.
Speaker Hon. Abba Tajudeen has ordered the release of the authentic tax reform act to restore transparency and legislative sanctity.
