Winifred Oyo-Ita, Head of the
Civil Service of the Federation, HoS, on Tuesday gave insight into why no
government officials involved in the controversial reinstatement of former
Chairman of the Pension Reforms Commission, Abdulrasheed Maina back into the civil
service has been sanctioned.
Oyo-Ita disclosed that those
involved in the controversy would be sanctioned upon completion of the ongoing
investigations and pending court case on the matter.
Addressing reporters in her
office in Abuja, the HoS said, “Yes, the Maina issue was a controversial one. I
wish to inform you that there are already investigation processes going on both
at the Presidency and at the National Assembly.
“Both the House of
Representatives and the Senate have set up committees on that issue.
“Recently, a court case was also
instituted on this Maina’s issue.
“So, with all these investigative
machineries in process and the court, which you know that once a matter is in
court, it becomes sub judice, there is really not much one can say or do in
terms of disciplinary action.
“This is because the matter is
already being investigated at the highest levels: at the Executive, Legislative
and now Judiciary levels.”
