The Martin Amaewhule-led faction of Rivers house of assembly has faulted the creation of Rivers State Investment Promotion Agency by Siminalayi Fubara, governor of the state.At the plenary held at the assembly quarters on Thursday, the house said there is no law backing the creation of the agency, adding that the governor did not consult the lawmakers before establishing RSIPA.
The media aide to the speaker added that the committee said the creation of the agency is unknown to any law created by the Rivers house of assembly.The statement quoted Amaewhule, speaker of the faction, as saying that the individuals appointed as RSIPA board members should have been screened by the assembly if there is a law establishing the agency.
“When the speaker put the question, the House voted in the affirmative and condemned in strong terms the actions of the governor, which it declared illegal and questionable.”
