THE coast is now clear for the presidency to start the implementation
of the House of Representatives resolutions on the Honourable Farouk
Lawan-led ad hoc committee that probed the fuel subsidy regime in the
country, as the House leadership hinted on Thursday that all the
relevant government agencies had officially received the resolution.
Fielding questions from newsmen during the weekly media briefing in Abuja, the chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Honourable Zakari Mohammed, confirmed that relevant Federal Govern-ment’s agencies, including the Economic and Commercial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Independent Corrupt Practicies and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), among others, had received the resolution.
According to him, “I can confirm here that the resolutions of the House on the fuel subsidy probe has been forwarded to the Attorney-General of the Federation, EFCC, ICPC and others early this week for necessary action and we got acknowkedgements from the agencies.”
While restating the determination of the House to see the full implementation of the resolutions to logical conclution, he said with the latest development, there would be no excuse for any of the agencies to claim ignorant of the probe panel report.
This is coming just as Honourable Mohammed said the embattled Director-General of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Ms Arunma Oteh, who accused the former chairman of the House Committee Capital Market and other Institutions, Honourable Herman Hembe, of demanding N44 million from the commission during the botched probe into the near collapse of the capital market, would face the House Ethics and Privileges Committee, alongside Honourable Hembe and others.
The House spokesman added that the dramatis personae in the bribery saga would now face the committee now being chaired by the Minority Whip of the House, Honourable Samson Osagie.
