Kaduna State House of Assembly has set up a 13-man legislative panel to probe all finances, loans, and contracts awarded by the immediate past governor of the state, Malam Nasir Elrufai, between 2015 and 2023.
The resolution of the House was reached during a special session of the House, which was presided over by the Speaker, Alh Yusuf Liman.
Hon. Yusuf Mugu, a member representing the Kaura constituency, moved the motion on the matter of public importance that the loans borrowed by the former governor be investigated.
Hon. Mugu argued that there is a need for the people of the state to know the conditions used for the loan.
“There have been uncompleted comments and assassinations of character on the leadership of the state, which the assembly cannot sit and watch. That is why I came up with this motion that the Speaker constitute a committee to investigate the allegations and negative comments on them.
“This is the only way the state can rekindle its confidence in its development partners, collaborators, and also those who give us loans and grants; failure to do this will push the indicators of the state to a situation whereby nobody will want to do business with us.”
