Governor Mukhtar Yero.
The Kaduna State House of Assembly Thursday passed into law a bill to stop the state governor and deputy governor from using the state resources to fund their medical bills abroad after leaving office. The lawmakers also stopped furniture and office accommodation allowances for former governor and deputy governor. The passage of the law, which now reads Pension and Gratuity (Governor and Deputy Governor) Amendment Law, 2013, followed its third reading on the floor of the House yesterday and runs against the proposal by the Executive of the state, which stated that the duo should enjoy free medical treatment in and outside the country with his/her immediate members of the family. The law is now amended to read former governor and deputy governor be treated in any government hospital within the country with his/her four family members. Good call i hope the other Governors follow suit.
