ASABA—DELTA State chapter of Association of Registered Political Parties, ARPP,  has threatened to drag the state House of Assembly to court should it pass the proposed bill before it to elevate the Clerk and Deputy Clerks of the House to be at par with the Head of Service and  Permanent Secretaries respectively, into law.

The group in a statement by its state chairman, Mr Moses Abehm, while describing the bill as fraudulent and unpopular, condemned it in its entirety.

Reiterating that to upgrade the Clerk of the House of Assembly and the Deputy to be at par with the Head of Service and Permanent Secretary was an exercise in futility, Abeh said ARPP would frustrate the proposed bill.

Wondering why the House would embark on such an unpopular political voyage without consulting stakeholders in the sector and beyond, the group queried, “Who will pay their salaries? How will this law benefit the people they are representing?”
