Fake Agency Probe: Reps panel threatens sanctions as MDAs ignore summons

The House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee investigating the alleged establishment and operations of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC) has issued a final warning to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) that have failed to honour its invitations.

While pledging to conduct the investigation professionally, fairly and transparently, the committee said no government agency, regardless of its status or influence, would be allowed to undermine the constitutional authority of the House.“Every public institution is hereby advised to treat this final warning with the seriousness it deserves,” the committee said.
