Kaduna Assembly Constitutes Committee To Probe El-Rufai’s Administration

The Speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly yesterday, inaugurated a 13-man committee to investigate how the $350 million World Bank loan obtained by the administration of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai was spent.

The constitution of the committee followed a motion by the member representing the Kaura constituency, Yusuf Mugu, asking the House to investigate all the loans obtained by the El-Rufai administration.

In their individual submissions, the member representing the Jaba constituency, Henry Marah, and his colleague from the Zangon Kataf constituency, Samuel Kambai, said the legislators have the duty and constitutional rights to give approval before the governor can go ahead to collect loans but lamented that the case of Kaduna was different.

He assured the House that the matter will be properly looked into, saying they will give everyone the liberty to speak the truth.
