Rivers Assembly Bans Revenue Contractors
Rivers State House of Assembly on Wednesday approved the ban on contractors and private consultants who engage in collection and remittance of personal income tax in the state.
The measure followed a letter from Governor Nyesom Wike to the House, requesting the ban on services of middlemen or contractors in matters pertaining to government revenue collection.
The letter, read at the plenary, sought for the consideration and approval of the state regulations which prohibits the engagement of contractors or private consultant from collecting government revenue.
During debate on the request, members affirmed the request as they noted that its provision was in the best interest of the state.
In his contribution, the House’s Majority Leader, Mr Martin Amaehule, representing Obio/Akpor State Constituency 1, said that the request was in line with the state law.
“The request we have before us today is a regulation in pursuance of section 75 of the Rivers State Board of Internal Revenue service law No.12 of 2012 and all other powers enabling the laws of the board.
“This particular section makes it mandatory for the chairman of the board to seek the approval of the state House of Assembly, whenever regulations regarding the duties of the board are to be made.
