The leadership of the National
Assembly is committed to #OpenNASS, we must commend them for that, and it takes
courage and true leadership to do that. At this juncture, it is important to
ask, what does #OpenNASS mean to Nigerians? What aspect of the National
Assembly does #OpenNASS cover? Should we advocate #OpenNASS or
#OpenLegislature? Going through trends it is easy to note that #OpenNASS means pay
cut and transparency in the spending of the National Assembly to a lot
people.
At EOTM, we believe #OpenNASS should
also translate to accountability and transparency on how our legislators vote
on key issues and bills. In the spirit of #OpenNASS, constituents should have
unhindered access to how their representatives represent them. I personally
will like to know how my Senator or member voted on PIB bill, Sexual Offences
bill, and an array of other bills.
