The Speaker stated this in plenary today after Members of the Assembly voted in favour of summoning the Chairman of the Board of Internal Revenue (ABIRS ) and the affected consultants to appear before them in the next plenary. They said it was a worrisome development.
The Speaker then announced that there was an urgent need for the House to rejig its committees in order to expand and strengthen their oversight functions on more government agencies.
An Ad Hoc committee was set up to further look into the activities of the ABIRS and report its findings to the House.
