Senate Plans To Screen Buhari And His Co Ministerial Nominees

The Senate leadership will adopt the formal procedure for the screening of ministerial nominees behind closed doors on Tuesday (today). The senate may also involve anti-graft agencies such as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission in the screening of those nominated by President Muhammadu Buhari to become ministers under the present administration. A principal officer, who disclosed this in Abuja on Monday, said, there won’t be the usual take a bow approach. He said the Senate at the close-door meeting would discuss whether to give special considerations for former senators and other members of the National Assembly nominated as ministerial candidates by Buhari.http://thesummary.com.ng/index.php/news-categories/national/item/3793-ministerial-screening-senate-may-involve-efcc-icpc
