juicy committee
n.— «The Nigerian coinage, “juicy committee,” is a thinly disguised reference to the abuse of committees by legislators to demand bribes and/or contracts from the ministries, departments or agencies (MDAs) of government that such committees are supposed to oversee. In plain language, some MDAs are perceived to offer better opportunities for contracts and bribes than others.» —“Legislative/Executive relations since 1999″ by Ladipo Adamolekun Vanguard (Nigeria) Jan. 28, 2008.
