The Nigerian Senate has threatened to sanction any Senator who received financial inducement from government agencies during the budget defence.
This was disclosed on Wednesday by the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, at the upper House of the National Assembly in Abuja.
This caution also came at the end of the 2016 Budget debate, as the Senate passed the budget through its second reading.
Senator Saraki asked the Committees on Budget and Appropriation to reflect the concerns which lawmakers raised during the budget debate, as the committees worked on the budget.
He told the lawmakers at the upper House that they would be under heavy scrutiny in order to bring forth, a budget that the Senate would be proud of.
The Senate had said that it would conclude work on the budget before the end of February.
