Calls for part-time legislature at federal and state levels have received the endorsement of the Chairman, Senate Committee on Privatisation, Orji Uzor Kalu.
The former Abia Governor gave the indication in a post on his verified Facebook page over the weekend.
“So, we can sit four times a year and if there’s any emergency, there will be emergency sitting. We can come to do a presidential bid on that basis and go back instead of sitting on a full-time basis. Kalu maintained that this would be part of austerity measures to reduce cost of governance, arguing that regional government would be another viable alternative.
