 That’s Not Fair - Kim Kardashian Says Prisoners Who Fought L.A. Wildfires Were Paid 'Just a Few Dollars,' and She Wants to Change That A renewed push for prison labor reform is gaining attention, with Kim Kardashian stepping in to support new legislation aimed at changing how incarcerated workers are paid. The bill, reintroduced on March 19 by Cory Booker, seeks to ensure that people working while incarcerated receive at least the federal minimum wage. It also proposes limits on deductions for fees, fines, and living costs within correctional facilities, through amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act.

FORMER VP ATIKU, CONDEMNS SENATE’S REJECTION OF REAL-TIME ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION OF ELECTION RESULTS.(PHOTO).


 Former VP Atiku, Condemns Senate’s Rejection of Real-Time Electronic Transmission of election Results.


Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has strongly criticised the Nigerian Senate’s decision to reject real-time electronic transmission of election results, describing it as a deliberate assault on electoral transparency and democratic credibility.


In a statement he released on social media today, Atiku said the move represents a major setback for electoral reform and shows a clear reluctance by the political establishment to subject elections to public scrutiny.


 He argued that electronic transmission of results is a non-partisan democratic safeguard that reduces manipulation, limits human interference, and ensures voters’ choices at polling units are accurately reflected in final outcomes.


He warned that rejecting the reform raises serious concerns about the commitment of those in power to free and fair elections ahead of 2027, noting a recurring pattern where transparency-enhancing reforms are resisted while loopholes benefiting incumbency are preserved.


Atiku called on Nigerians, civil society groups, the media, and the international community to resist what he described as a regression and to continue demanding a modern, transparent, and verifiable electoral system.


According to him, anything short of credible and manipulation-free elections amounts to an injustice to voters and a betrayal of democracy.
