The Senator representing, Bayelsa East constituency, in Bayelsa State, Ben Murray-Bruce
has blasted the Federal Government for its anti-people policies that
has continued to exploit and force the people into poverty and
suffering.
He expressed sadness over the decision by the Nigerian
Communications Commission to instruct GSM companies to hike their rates
at a time the people are suffering deeply because of recession.
“I will fight against this data in the Senate. The NCC, as a
regulator, should be directing that GSM firms reduce and not increase
tariffs!! In my opinion, rather than direct GSM firms to hike rates, NCC
should invest in free public wifi for the advancement of knowledge in
Nigeria.
“It is very unjust for people whose fuel, power and GSM plans
is paid for by the people to increase fuel, power and GSM plans for the
people without increasing the minimum wage! If the government is
desperate for money then they should tax something that mainly the rich
enjoy. The money they are looking for can be gotten if they tax all
Business and First Class tickets.”
