Singer Olubankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W has vowed to publish his earnings as a legislator if elected as the representative for the Eti-Osa House of Representatives seat in Lagos Banky W reportedly made the announcement while speaking during a debate against four other candidates in Lagos on Monday, February 4, 2019.
The
legislative candidate said accountability is one of the biggest
problems in governance and hopes to lead from the front to change the
situation.
He
vowed to publish his salary and allowances as a legislator and be
transparent in the spending of constituency allocations by consulting
regularly with the people.
He said, “Most of us don’t know who our representatives are, talk less of their salary and allowances and constituency allocations that they receive every year most of the time to enrich themselves.“How I plan to address it myself directly is first of all, I’ll publish what I earn as a legislator – my salary, my allowance, the allocation given to Eti-Osa, I will publish it.
“We will have town halls and an active constituency office to engage the community to say this is the allocation that we’ve received, this is what we intend to spend it on.”
