Why we halted probes, investigative hearing - Gbajabiamila

By Tony Akowe and Victor Oluwasegun, Abuja

Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Speaker, Lanre Lasisi quoted him as saying that summer vacation is part of the Legislative all over the world, stressing that the House has not breached any law by sending its members on break. Gbajabiamila explained that the House has not breached any law or known convention by embarking on an annual recess, while recalling that members were working during the recess until when it became imperative to suspend the public hearings.

He maintained that the House was not insensitive to the realities of the coronavirus pandemic that disrupted activities globally, which was responsible for the continuation of legislative activities well into its annual recess. “As I speak to you, the United States Congress is on annual recess. You won’t hear of legislative hearing or any public hearing. Just last week, the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the US Congress had to call her members back through a zoom conference because of the issue of US…. and the impending elections. But right now they are back in their constituencies. That is the way it is done the world over.
