that the embattled Oduah and heads of agencies under her
supervision, did not appear before the Senate on Tuesday because
his committee had yet to invite her.
Uzodinma told journalists after Tuesday's plenary that the Senate
had just approved the votes and proceedings of its sitting on
October 8, where members unanimously agreed to summon Oduah over
the crisis in the aviation industry.
He said, "With the approval of the votes and proceedings of the last
Senate session today (Tuesday), containing the summoning of the
minister, our committee will now meet within this week to fix the
exact date, to invite the minister and other relevant aviation chiefs
for questioning on the troubled sector."
On why the Senate was allegedly foot-dragging on the bulletproof
cars scandal, the senator said, "As the chairman of the Senate
committee on aviation, I have read a lot on the issue in the media
and I believe other members of the committee are also up to date on
it.
"However, we cannot jump into the fray like that based on media
information alone without properly checking our records for facts and
figures on whether the alleged vehicles bought were appropriated for,
or not by the agencies that purchased them."
Let's see how that goes
