Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Privatisation, supports the idea of implementing a part-time legislature at both the federal and state levels in Nigeria.

Representing the APC from the Abia North senatorial district, Senator Kalu believes that transitioning to a part-time legislative system would not only reduce expenses but also improve the public’s confidence in the political system.

During an interview, the former Abia Governor proposed a structured approach to part-time legislature, suggesting limited session periods for critical activities such as constitutional amendments, with provisions for emergency sittings as needed.

Emphasizing the need for cost-saving measures in governance, Senator Kalu pointed out the potential benefits of regional government as an alternative model.

He urged the government to consider enacting laws that would support a part-time legislative system, emphasizing the positive impact such reforms could have on the overall functioning of the government.

Addressing a common misconception, Senator Kalu clarified that senators are not adequately compensated, underscoring the importance of quick constitutional amendments to establish a part-time legislative structure for the Senate, House of Representatives, and state assemblies across the country.
