The
Auditor-General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, and the Minister of
Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, have been summoned by members of the Federal
House of Representatives at the National Assembly.

The House of Representatives Committee on Public Procurement on
Thursday, summoned the Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, over
alleged payment of N17 billion for procurement of office equipment.
It also summoned the Auditor-General of the Federation (AGF), Mr
Ahmed Idris, and former Accountant-General of the Federation Mr Jonah
Otunla, over the transaction.
The three top government officials are to appear before the committee members on Tuesday.
Their invitation was sequel to their failure to appear at the
public hearing on the allegation organised by the committee on Thursday.
The minister sent the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Mr Isa
Dutse, to represent her, but the lawmakers flayed it and refused to
accept any excuse for her absence at the investigative hearing.
Before issuing the summons, Chairman of the committee, Rep. Oluwole
Oke, said that the three officials had violated the provisions of
section 15 of the Public Procurement Act 2007 as it pertained to the
role of procurement entities.
He told the permanent secretary that the minister must provide
documents that included the president’s approval for the contract,
agreement signed by the contractors and record of payment of the
contract by the ministry.
He said that the summons became necessary because there was a
document from the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation
showing that they had paid N17 billion on the contract.
Oke added that public procurement regulation was the only way to curb corruption in the country.
