URGENT NEED TO INVESTIGATE THE ILLEGAL DEDUCTION IN THE SALARIES OF GOVERNMENT WORKERS, PARTICULARLY THE NIGERIAN POLICE FORCE, UNDER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA.



Motion Moved by: Hon.Jarigbe Agom, Member representing Ogoja/Yala federal constituency.

Under a matter of urgent public importance, Hon.Jarigbe Agom, Member of Parliament Representing Ogoja/Yala Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives has moved a motion on the massive deductions of up to 50% percent in the salary of government workers, particularly the Nigerian Police Force.

The House, while adopting the motion, said available records showed that there are massive deductions of up to 50 percent in the salary of policemen.

The practice, the House said, has been going on for some years now as policemen cannot say with exactitude their actual take-home pay monthly.

The House resolved that an ad-hoc committee would investigate the matter and report back within four weeks.

In his motion, Hon.Jarigbe said: "For so many years now, no officer could say with all certainty how much he earns every month as salary because their salaries are paid in piecemeal with massive deductions, which is as much as 50% of the actual salary."

He said for over three months now, some police officers have not received their salaries and that the only official explanation given by the police authorities was that the fault was from operators of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).

He added that men of the Nigerian Police are "demeaned, neglected and rejected because they have no union to enable them cry with one voice to agitate for a better condition of work."

"The condition of service is deplorable, unattractive and non-conducive to productive enterprise, as on several occasions, policemen lose their lives to vicious and daring criminals who descend on innocent citizens across the country."

He said if urgent steps were not taken to stop the indiscriminate and illegal deductions of police salaries, corruption in the Nigeria Police Force could not be completely eradicated.
