The group expressed displeasure when the member representing Oyigbo state constituency, Gerald Oforji, presented a report on the inauguration of the Board of the Rivers State Investment Promotion Agency by Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Oforji in his report stated that such an Agency if properly established would create a conducive climate to attract and grow businesses in the State, but regretted the absence of any law known to the Martin Amaewhule House of Assembly, establishing such an Agency.
He maintained that if such law exists, the individuals so nominated would have been subjected to the confirmation.
In a statement signed by his special Assistant on Media Martins Wachukwu, Amaewhule maintained that the action of the Governor in appointing some individuals to an Agency not known to any legislation in the State is condemnable.
Amaewhule also recalled a similar action taken by Governor FUBARA when he appointed some persons into the Board of the Bureau for Public Procurement, and other appointments without regard to the provisions of extant laws guiding such appointments.
