A former Abia State Government House Director of Finance, Mr Jones Udeogu, Wednesday said he was not aware that it was against public service rules for a civil servant to get government contracts.

Kalu, Udeogu and a firm Slok Nigeria Ltd, are first to third defendants on the charge filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission . “According to Civil Service Rules, nobody can bypass the Chief of Staff to see or take orders from the governor, all the Directors take orders from the Chief of Staff, Unit Heads take orders from their various Directors and it is only the Chief of Staff that can give approval for who gets what from the Government House bank accounts.

“Neither me nor any other staff of Government House paid any money into Slok account. We also did not receive any Board Resolution from Slok requesting for any money to be paid into Slok account”, he said.
