 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. Kardashian, who has increasingly focused on criminal justice reform, explained that her support is rooted in what she witnessed during the Los Angeles wildfires.  “I personally watched incarcerated people who risked their lives battling the massive wildfires,” she said, pointing out that many were paid only a few dollars a day despite doing the same high-risk work as profess...

SENATE COMMITTEE CALLS FOR SACK OF CAC CEO. (PHOTO).

-


 The Senate Committee on Finance has called for the immediate removal of Hussaini Ishaq Magaji, the Registrar-General/CEO of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), over his continued failure to appear before Senate committees.


Lawmakers expressed frustration over what they described as his persistent refusal to honor invitations to address questions regarding the agency’s operations and revenue matters.


The motion was raised by Orji Uzor Kalu during an interactive session with key economic managers of the government on the 2026 budget and the Fiscal and Monetary Policy Framework.

The Senators stated that the situation had gone on for too long and proposed that a warrant of arrest be issued to compel the CAC boss to appear before the Senate.

Committee Chairman, Sani Musa, reiterated the Committee’s position, stressing that no public official is above the law.

He noted that the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Budget consistently honoured invitations from the Senate, questioning why the head of the CAC should act differently.


According to Orji Uzor Kalu, since his time in the Senate, the CAC Registrar-General has never appeared before the Committee, often citing official engagements at the Presidential Villa or overseas trips as excuses.


He emphasized that such a pattern cannot continue and that the official must appear to give a full account of his stewardship.


The Committee maintained that the National Assembly has a constitutional mandate to exercise oversight over Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), and compliance with invitations is not optional.


A motion for his removal was subsequently moved and seconded by Adams Oshiomhole.


The Chairman noted that this is not the first time the Senate has threatened such action against the CAC Registrar-General, particularly over revenue and accountability concerns, adding that the repeated disregard for legislative authority warrants decisive measures.

The meeting was attended by the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, representatives of the Central Bank of Nigeria, and other key stakeholders to review the implementation of the Federal government’s budget.
