Okai Tackles Ododo Over 20% Deduction from Kogi LG Staff Salaries

 

The immediate past House of Representatives candidate for Dekina/Bassa Federal Constituency in the 2023 general election, Comrade Usman Okai Austin, stated that the alleged deduction of 20% from LG salaries of local government staff in Kogi State is a grave injustice that cannot be overlooked.

He also called on Governor Usman Ododo and his administration to address these allegations transparently and take immediate steps to rectify the situation.

Recently, it was reported that Governor Usman Ododo of Kogi State had allegedly authorized the deduction of 20% from the salaries of local government staff, leaving them with only 80% of their rightful earnings.

This revelation has sparked outrage and condemnation across the state. As citizens, we cannot turn a blind eye to such blatant acts of injustice and theft.

In a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja yesterday, Okai said the people of Kogi State deserve better, and it is time for us to demand the accountability and integrity that we rightfully deserve.

“We must demand transparency from our government and refuse to tolerate any form of corruption. It is our collective responsibility to speak out against injustice and ensure that those in power are held to account for their actions.”

“It is important to emphasize that this is not an issue of tribalism or bias; rather, it is a matter of accountability and transparency in governance.

“Regardless of our tribal affiliations, we must unite in condemning any form of corruption within our government. The welfare of all citizens, irrespective of ethnicity, should be the priority of any responsible administration.

“The implications of such actions are dire. Deducting a portion of workers’ salaries without valid justification not only undermines their livelihoods but also violates their rights as employees.

“It is a betrayal of the trust placed in the government to fairly and equitably manage public resources.”
