There are strong indications that some aggrieved members of Kogi State House of Assembly may likely boycott subsequent sitting in the House.
This according to findings may not be unconnected with the welfare of the assembly members since they came on board.
Out of 25 members of the House, only 10 of them were present at Tuesday’s sitting, confirming that all is not well with the House as some members have even made up their mind not to attend sitting any longer if nothing is done about their welfare.
Meanwhile, the Speaker, Prince Mathew Kolawole however, decried the attitude of some lawmakers who attends executive sessions without attending plenary sittings.
The speaker who caution lawmakers found of doing so would be termed to be absent, however, moved a motion to take effect and it was seconded by the majority leader representing Ajaokuta State Constituency Bello Hassan Balogun.
Citing relevant sessions of the house rules, the speaker noted that the motion so moved was to put to effect relevant sessions of the house rules.
It was however gathered that some lawmakers who were absent at Tuesday plenary attended the executive session held at the speakers office.
Meanwhile, a bill for a law to repeal and re-enact the Kogi State Hotel and Edict, 1995, establishing the Kogi State Hotels and Tourism Board and a bill for a law to establish Kogi State Erosion and Watershed Management agency have passed through second reading in the house.
