The Senate has commenced investigation of the circumstances
surrounding the return of embattled ex-Chairman of the Presidential
Task Force on Pension Reforms, Abdulrasheed Maina , and his
reinstatement into the civil service of the Federal Government.
The
lawmakers at the plenary on Tuesday took turns to condemn those in the
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, who they said were
rubbishing the anti - corruption campaign of the government.
They asked why someone who absconded from service as assistant director could be discreetly reinstated as director.
They
therefore set up an ad hoc committee to investigate the matter. Maina,
who has been accused of complicity in a N2bn fraud, has gone into
hiding.
The fugitive, who is still on the
wanted list of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for the
alleged offence, went into hiding soon after news that the anti graft
agency had launched a manhunt for him became public.
