House Of Reps Seek To Remove President’s Power To Appoint EFCC Chairman
The House of Representatives on Wednesday started the process to amend the EFCC Act, 2004.
Four consolidated bills seeking to further empower the commission, passed second reading at a session presided over by the Speaker of the House, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, in Abuja.
One major aspect of the proposed amendment is removing the power of appointing the chairman of the EFCC from the President.
The amendment will allow Nigerians appoint the Chairman of the anti-graft agency.
“In this new proposal, it will require a petition from the public to the National Assembly for a resolution.
“This resolution, when passed, will be forwarded to the President. Mr. President shall within one month, either accept the resolution or reject it.
“The National Assembly reserves the power to override his veto of the resolution.”
The bills also prescribe tougher penalties for stealing public money and creating a special court for speedy trial of cases.
