The Ondo State House of Assembly has summoned the administrators of the 18 local government areas of the state to account for the financial allocations received in the last six months.
The Deputy Speaker, Prince Abayomi Akinruntan, APC/ Ilaje Constituency 1, who moved the motion on Thursday, asked the assembly to rise to its constitutional duties of checkmating the financial activities of the local government in the state.
Akinruntan said that there was need to ensure that funds being released and being spent were accounted for.
Hon. Japhet Toyin, APC/ Akoko-North East, who seconded the motion, said that transparency and accountability at the grassroots would address hunger being expressed in the country.
The 26 lawmakers of the House of the Assembly unanimously through a voice vote agreed to the motion.
The Speaker of the House of Assembly, Chief Olamide Oladiji, therefore, directed the Clerk of the assembly, Mr Benjamin Jayeola, to write a letter to that effect in directing the administrators to come on or before Friday, Aug. 16, to appear before the assembly.
