Speaker, Delta House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Monday Igbuya, Tuesday, said the house would ensure accountability, probity, transparency and efficiency in the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the 2016 budget even as he praised the judiciary for the sound judgment in favour of governor Ifeanyi Okowa.

Igbuya said the house is adequately positioned to meeting the demands of making well focused researched and people oriented laws that will impact positively on the people.

Igbuya advised his colleagues to brace up for the ever-evolving and unfinished business of state development as the months ahead will be challenging.

“We have shown uncommon resilience, maturity and understanding. Our display of competence, patriotism and commitment to duty which we demonstrated while carrying out our legislative duties and other assignments, has in no small means translated to the success the House has enjoyed.

We should not compromise or betray the mandate the people gave us for pecuniary gains. We must work hard to secure a better life and greater opportunities for them through viable and pragmatic laws and other legislative instruments that would ensure viable socio-economic and infrastructural transformation in all the 29 constituencies in the state.
