Plateau State Administrator, Maj. Gen. Chris Alli, has initiated a probe into the financial dealings of the state under the suspended Governor, Chief Joshua Dariye. Our correspondent gathered from sources close to the Plateau State Government House on Tuesday that security agents have been inviting some commissioners and heads of extra ministerial departments to explain some hazy financial transactions. Primary among those being quizzed were officials of the state ministry of finance, officials from the office of the state accountant-general and the state revenue board. It was further gathered that present and past officials of the Bureau for Local Government Administration were also being invited by security agents to explain deductions from statutory allocations to local governments in the past year. Local government chairmen were also being invited to explain why they have not been able to pay salaries to their workers for upwards of one and a half years. Our correspondents reliably learnt that the state administrator was baffled by the huge debt, which the state had incurred, especially the unpaid salaries to the third tier of government. For instance, some local governments owed up to 18 months salaries. (Punch) |
