Tracka, BudglT Foundation’s service delivery promotion platform, has revealed that Bayelsa State Government under the leadership of Douye Diri earmarked the sum of N700 million to purchase 50 torches and 100 walkie-talkies for personnel of local vigilante group known as Bayelsa Community Safety Crops.
This was stated in a post shared on Friday afternoon by the platform, which described the state 2024 Appropriation Act as having disregard for the current hardship being faced by residents.

“Mr Governor, you allocated 4.6 billion naira to purchase 20 Hilux and SUVs and another 1.2 billion naira for government printing machines
