The Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) has condemned the unlawful suspension of the Kano Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission Chairman, Muhuyi Magaji Rimingado, by the State House of Assembly on a baseless allegation backed by an unconstitutional process.
In a statement by the Executive Director, Auwal Ibrahim Musa Rafsanjani, the group said it was unfortunate that the unlawful suspension was coming at a time they were calling for the independence of Anti-Corruption institutions and more accountability at subnational levels.
The group added that the unlawful suspension sent out another wave of concern about the state’s commitments to combat corruption.
The Group expressed disappointment at the self-serving position of the State Assembly—which has the fundamental mandate to protect and allow citizens’ interest to prevail in its legislative activities, flouting provisions of the rule of law and procedures.
