The Bauchi State chapter of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), has written to the state’s Accountant General seeking permission to scrutinize the financial activities of the government including its debt profile, financial interventions, statutory allocations and expenditures.
The letter which was signed by the Secretary of the party in the state, Hon. Abdulazeez Haruna, relied on the freedom of information act which requires public institutions to disclose certain information to the public.
According to Haruna, the letter dated September 10th was a follow up to an earlier letter on September 2nd which was not attended to, while noting, that the information was essential for public understanding and scrutiny of the state government’s financial activities.
