A Former Deputy Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Orisalade Adetunji Taiwo has called on the Federal and State Governments to comprehensively review the Welfare Packages of Judicial Officers and their Staff under them.
Whilst applauding the searchlight beamed on the Judiciary in the Anti-corruption drive, the Ex-Lawmaker says the journey should not end there!
According to him, there should be a concomitant exploration into how comfortable these Officers are in the performance of their highly sensitive jobs.
These Officers are not on a Sacrifice Mission, they are to serve the Country to the best of their abilities, which must be enhanced by the Nation.
What is the essence of giving the Judge a House and a Car without enough fund to maintain them? He queried!
Even where some Funds are given in some Cases, it has been same in the last ten years without any increment.
The Lawmaker further says that the Governments should not forget that the Judicial Officers are human beings too, operating within the Nigerian Society and who are equally subjected to pressures from an array of Dependants.
To him, the need for such review is highly desirable and urgent!
