Governor Ugwuanyi’s Government Has Nothing To Hide – Aniekwe Chibuzor

Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has been praised for the democratization of his Public Finance development and management, which has engendered accountability and fiscal responsibility in the state

A Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Enugu State, Aniekwe Chibuzor recently revealed this via a statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, Ugwuanyi has adopted a special paradigm evidently captured in the democratization of his Public Finance development and management, and this is definitely the way to go in Nigeria.

He added that since the governor can subject his tenure under this kind of legal scrutiny, it proves that he does not live in glasshouse, so he can definitely throw stones.

His words, “Ugwuanyi has entrenched unique paradigm evidently captured in democratization of his Public Finance development and management. It is therefore this democratisation of Public Finance that among other tendencies”.

“Currently, the reform which brought inclusiveness in need generation of budgetary expenditure items and also a full disclosure of government’s expected sources of revenues with their underlying assumptions to the people is a major milestone in the advancement of democratic tenets anywhere in the world.”

“Presently, it is my considered opinion that the Executive Governor of Enugu State through the State Ministry of Budget has fully internalized and consciously implemented the Charters and ramifications of a fiscal responsibility regime by inculcating and sustaining the following charters and tenets; Bill for an act for the enactment of Enugu State Fiscal Responsibility Law to entrench transparency and accountability as a matter of legality other than leaving same at the whims and caprices of individual leader’s subjective morality.”

“Any Leader who subjects his tenure under this kind of legal scrutiny shows that such leader does not live in glasshouse and therefore could throw stone.”

“A fiscal responsibility regime shall always pursue greater Macro Economic sustainability and stability by creating a medium term economic framework and a strategic direction for it realizable. This medium term plan therefore encompasses all the annual budgets in the years under review and ensures continuity of thoughts, projections and realignment in events of variances between budgetary assumptions and realities.”

“On a very special note therefore, it is worthy to point out some significant areas in which Governor has demonstrated in clarity the embodiment of a Fiscal Responsibility Regime.”
