Senator Dino Melaye has revealed his plans to raise a bill that will make federal appointees to undergo mental health tests compulsory before they are allowed into public office.
Senator Melaye said, “Indeed health experts need to collaborate with those of us at the National Assembly so that we can enact a new bill or work on the existing ones to make it mandatory for political appointees to go through mental health stability before being appointed.”
To go deeper into his ideas, he made an obvious reference to the corruption allegations against suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, who was accused of the misappropriation of funds earmarked for the welfare of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) through the Presidential Initiative on North East (PINE).
“How can someone in his right senses use N2billion to cut grassses?” he said.
