Ayade Assents To Judiciary, Legislature Autonomy Bills
The Governor of Cross River State, Prof Ben Ayade, last Friday assented to the Legislative Fund Management and Other Matters Bill as well as Judicial Fund Management and Other Matters Bill.
The two bills which had earlier been passed by the state House of Assembly seek the autonomy of the legislature and judicial arms of government in terms of funding and other matters.
With the passage of the law, funds accruing to the two arms of government for capital and recurrent expenditure would henceforth be accessed directly by them in accordance with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution as amended.
Governor Ayade underscored the importance of the bills while signing them into law, saying they were important in the life of his administration.
The governor commended the legislators for their cooperation which has enabled his administration to achieve a lot.
In his remarks, the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Eteng Williams, praised his colleagues in the 9th Assembly, adding that giant strides in the quality of bills passed and assented to by the governor were achieved during his leadership.
According to him, “We have made history with this bill signing into law today. It is my strong conviction that we will continue to work as partners for the growth and progress of our dear state and the good people of Cross River.”
