House Committee on Public Petitions Accuse MDAs of Evading Summons

Onyebuchi Ezigbo in Abuja

The House Representatives Committee on Public Petitions has alleged that some ministries, agencies and departments were hindering its efforts to conclusively address complaints brought before it.

Speaking at the Retreat Session of the House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions organised by the Policy and Legislative Advocacy Centre (PLAC) in Abuja, the Chairman, Hon. Bitrus Kwamoti Laori, said the action of MDAs inhibits the committee’s work.

“Some of them will not allow until we threaten them with arrest before you see them appearing,” he said.
