The Nation Newspaper Reps committee threatens MTN, Airtel over refusal to honour invitation
The House of Representatives Committee on Corporate Social Responsibility, on Tuesday, June 25, threatened to issue warrants of arrest for telecom companies MTN and Airtel for failing to honour its invitation.
She said: “Section 89, 8 of the Constitution mandates individual companies as invited to make themselves available to parliament but they break the law and I want to tell you Sir, MTN Airtel they take so much from our nation and they feel too big to appear before the parliament we will not tolerate that.
“Other companies show up, give account and we even go on oversight but NCC is one company that has given us problems insisting that they are in court that is not acceptable”.
