The Zamfara State Factional House of Assembly has dissolved all principal officers,house standing committees vowed to file cases against them to EFCC, ICPC to recover diverted funds in the state.

The factional Speaker Bashir Aliyu Gummi also appointed two sensitive committees to give the institution a better focus. 

This was disclosed today Wednesday by the factional speaker,  Hon. Bashar Aliyu Gummi shortly after the House Plenary,  held in Gusau,the state capital.

According to him,house two standing committees,  that includes Ethics and Privileges as well as Works and Infrastructure, have been reconstituted to be chaired by Hon. Masama and Hon. Bashir Sarkin Zango respectively .

The House resolved to file all financial misappropriation reports against the dissolved House Principal officers to the EFCC and ICPC  in order to recover all diverted public funds.

During the sitting and under matters of urgent public importance,  the lawmakers condemned the lopsided appointment of Permanent Secretaries by the Dauda Lawal led administration. 

In the motion raised by Hon. Ibrahim Tudu Tukur,  member representing Bakura State Constituency drew the attention of the members to how some local government areas were completely edged out in the appointment of Permanent Secretaries when some favoured local government areas had more than nine, citing Tsafe, Maradun and Birnin Magaji local government areas as having none.

He noted that the action is a violation of the 1999 constitution as amended and must be reviewed in the principle of fairness and justice to all citizens of the state. 

The House immediately directed the state governor, Dauda Lawal to reverse the appointments and include the appointment of Permanent Secretaries fairly from all the local government areas of the state. 

Similarly,  the factional legislative arm frowned at the slow pace of the multi billion naira Gusau-Dansadau road project where huge sums of money had been given to the contractors since last year but work is yet to cover even five kilometres.

Members then directed the state Commissioner of Works and Infrastructure to appear before the House to explain the problem, pointing out that "all public and tax payers money must be judiciously spent on the purposes meant."

The House also urged governor Dauda Lawal to direct for the reopening at least two boarding schools shut down due to insecurity in each of the three Senatorial Districts as demanded by parents to allow for better studies with the legislature accusing government refusal to reopen the schools in order to avoid the school feeding program which had helped underprivileged children and retained students in schools. 

It would be recalled that a parallel State House of Assembly emerged last week Wednesday, headed by Hon. Gummi which has been raising sensitive issues of public concern against both the executive and the Hon. Moriki led factional assembly with both the state government and the Moriki led Assembly, unable to speak clearly
