He also faulted a report purportedly made by his colleague, Mohammed Bala Farouk, that the Federal Government allocated N100m to each Rep.
Namdas also expressed optimism that Buhari will sign the 2016 budget into law by next week.
The Reps spokesman also said no money has been disbursed to the lawmakers, adding that the funds for the constituency projects could only be released after the President assents to the budget.
