“I earn a total of N14m every month as a Senator” – Orji Uzor Kalu reveals
Orji Uzor Kalu, Senator representing Abia North, has disclosed that he earns a total of N14 million monthly, covering all expenses related to his role as a lawmaker.
The former governor of Abia State made the revelation during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, October 17.
“I earn N14 million for everything in a month. That is everything encompassing, the overhead, the worker’s salary, everybody,” Senator Kalu said, countering the perception that lawmakers live in luxury while Nigerians face economic hardship.
Kalu explained that the amount is insufficient to cover expenses like travel to his constituency or maintaining his constituency office. He also dispelled rumours that lawmakers receive personal luxury vehicles, clarifying that only committee members in the National Assembly are provided with vehicles for official use.
“I am in the Senate, and a lot of things are said about the Senators, and I sit there quietly and watch, and most of these things are not true. All I know is that committees get vehicles; no lawmaker is given any vehicle,” Kalu said.
