As of now, there is no publicly available information confirming that the Nigerian House of Representatives is considering a bill specifically proposing a seven-year jail term or a N5 million fine for individuals found guilty of giving or receiving bribes in workplaces across Nigeria.
However, the House has been active in proposing stringent penalties for various offenses. For instance:
- Medical Tourism by Public Officials: A bill proposes a seven-year imprisonment or a N500 million fine for public officials who seek medical treatment abroad at public expense without proper authorization.
- Disrespecting Constituted Authorities: The Counter Subversion Bill prescribes a three-year jail term or a N5 million fine for individuals who persistently disregard or disrespect constituted authorities.
- Sexual Harassment in Tertiary Institutions: A bill has been passed proposing a 14-year jail term for offenders, and a five-year imprisonment or a N5 million fine for heads of institutions that fail to act on complaints.
While these examples demonstrate the House’s commitment to addressing various forms of misconduct, there is no specific mention of a bill targeting bribery in workplaces with the penalties you’ve described.
If you have more details or specific aspects of the proposed legislation you’d like to explore, feel free to provide them, and I can assist further.
