I Earn N14 Million Monthly As A Senator, But It’s Not Enough – Orji Kalu

Former Governor of Abia State and the lawmaker representing Abia North in the Senate, Orji Kalu, has revealed that he earns N14 million monthly as a member of the National Assembly.

The former Senate Chief Whip made the revelation during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday.

Kalu argued that the N14 million is not enough to buy petrol to travel to his constituency, maintain the constituency office and pay his aides, among other things.

He said, “I earn N14 million for everything in a month. That is everything encompassing, the overhead, the worker’s salary, everybody.”

The lawmaker also dismissed claims by some Nigerians that National Assembly members live in affluence while the masses live in poverty.

Speaking further, Kalu denied that lawmakers are given official personal vehicles, saying that only the various committees in the national assembly were given vehicles.

“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,” he said.
