The Chairman, Senate Committee on Foreign and Domestic Debts, Senator Shehu Sani, has condemned in strong terms the proposal seeking life pension for National Assembly (NASS) leaders.

The proposal is being championed by some legislators, in the just inaugurated1999 constitution amendment committee.

Senator Sani made this disclosure in Kaduna Monday when he paid a private visit to the reporter of Peoples Daily Newspaper, Mr Femi Oyelola, who was involved in an accident early this year, with severe fractures.

He said it was necessary for him to make his position clear on the subject matter.

It would be recalled ‎that the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu who is the Chairman, Senate Ad hoc committee on review of the 1999 constitution, alongside other Senators at the constitution review committee meeting held in Lagos, voted in favour of life Pension for NASS leaders.

Senator Sani who is also a member of the committee maintained that, “I am personally opposed to life pension for legislators, Governors or their deputies, or immunity for public office holders.”

He stressed that there was no reason for public office holders to enjoy immunity, thereby making it impossible to be tried when they commit any offence, adding that such, made room for impunity in most cases.
