The Speaker of Osun House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Timothy Owoeye has urged the Executive arm of government not to neglect the needs of the legislature for a continued smooth and cordial relationship.
Owoeye made this known today while delivering his opening remarks at the presentation of appropriation bill for the year 2020 by the state Governor, Mr Gboyega Oyetola.
The lawmaker who opined that the state is blessed with a Governor who is committed to the principle of separation of powers, also urged other members of the executive to stay away from issues and actions that will cause division in the house.
“The implementation of the budget is more important to us in the 7th Assembly. The committees of the house will work assiduously to undertake effective oversight and ensure timely execution of Government projects.” He said.
The Speaker later reiterated the resolve of the house to work with civil society organizations to couch a budget performance index through a public budget monitoring system.
