Unbelievable!!!Reps Start to Probe Jonanthan

According to Punch News.

The House of Representatives on Tuesday gave its committees on Anti-Corruption, Environment and Habitat six weeks to investigate former President Gooodluck Jonathan’s “Clean Stove For Rural Women scheme” contract of about N9.287 bn.

The resolution followed a motion by Rep. Abiodun Faleke (APC-Lagos), which was unanimously adopted by members through a voice vote.

Faleke noted that the Federal Executive Council had approved a contract for the supply of 20 million units of clean stove and wonder bags under the clean stove scheme for rural women.

He added that the contract was at a unit cost of N464.00, amounting to about N9.287bn.

The lawmaker said that following the approval of FEC, the Federal Ministry of Finance released the sum of N5bn to the Federal Ministry of Environment for the execution of the project.

He further disclosed that Integra Energy Renewable Services Limited was awarded the contract for the supply of the 20 million units.

Faleke also said that the company was paid the sum of N1.3bn out of the N5bn released by the Ministry of Environment as mobilisation fee without due process.

The lawmaker expressed concern that less than 750,000 units were said to have been assembled and delivered at the velodrome of the National Stadium, Abuja, which was commissioned by former Vice President, Namadi Sambo.

He noted that there was no beneficiary present at the commissioning nor was anyone later given the stove to achieve its intended purpose.

The mandate of the committee saddled with the investigation will be to find out details of the contract, number of units supplied, their mode of distribution and names of beneficiaries on a State by State basis.

The committees would also determine the status of the balance of N952m with the contractor, since 750,000 units of the clean stoves were supplied at a unit cost of N464 at the value of N348m out of the N1.3bn paid out.

The status of the balance of N3.7bn which was outstanding from the initial payment to the Federal Ministry of Environment will also be confirmed by the committee.

The committees would also determine whether or not the clean stoves and wonder bags project had assisted in eradicating desertification in Nigeria for future consideration.

Egooo!!!!!!!!See man who was duped of 100000 Dollars.

According to h-metro,BUSINESSMAN Tendai Ishe Taruvinga, who is into commodity broking, was reportedly duped of nearly US$100 000 by suspected con-artists in a botched stationery deal.

Taruvinga, who runs Razar Communications, was reportedly duped by Thandiwe Catherine Chisoro, Tafadzwa Mazhazhate, Sunungurai Chinhango and Stanely Nyamasoka.

The quartet appeared in court facing fraud charges.

They were not asked to plead to the charges when they appeared before Harare magistrate Rumbidzai Mugwagwa.

Circumstances leading to the quartet’s arrest are that sometime in December last year, Taruvinga was looking for stationery, spicies and gases from off-shore companies

Taruvinga was then referred to Farai Mashiri alias Moses Banda who was said to be based in South Africa.

Reports are that Taruvinga contacted Mashiri who confirmed that he was in a position to facilitate for the payment of the stationery in South Africa.

Mashiri, who is still at large, is said to have told Taruvinga that he could also deliver the said commodities to Zimbabwe from South Africa before referring to Thandiwe Chisoro.

Thandiwe Chisoro is also alleged to have pending fraud cases at the same court.

On December 28, Thandiwe Chisoro is alleged to have teamed up with Farai Mashiri and called Taruvinga saying they had paid for the spices he was looking for.

Thandiwe is also alleged to have told Taruvinga that he would receive proof of payment from Mashiri who was in South Africa.

Mashiri is said to have send Taruvinga fake payment vouchers as proof of payment for the spices and said the spices were in en-route to Zimbabwe.

Armed with the fake proof of payment, Thandiwe is alleged to have approached Taruvinga at his offices and collected US$30 000 as payment for the delivery of the spices.

On January 3 this year, Taruvinga is also said to have requested for the supplies of gas from Mashiri.

He also indicated that the stationery was en-route to Zimbabwe.

Thandiwe is also said to have approached Taruvinga at his offices with intention to collect US$33 000 which they said had been paid for stationery.

But Taruvinga paid part of the money and asked her to return on January 9 to collect the balance.

Reports are that Taruvinga did not receive all the products he had paid for on agreed dates which raised his suspicion.

On January 9 Thandiwe approached Taruvinga with intention to collect the remaining US$14 500 but was arrested after she failed to account for the products and the money.

Thandiwe is said to have implicated Mazhazhate, Chinhango and Nyamasoka
