This declaration did not go down well with the HOS, Mrs Winifred Oyo-Ita as she immediately countered his position saying:
“This is not quite correct to put it mildly at this point, the Chairman ordered that she should be placed on oath. Also, the Accountant General to the Federation, AGF, Ahmed Idris told the Committee that the last salary Maina earned was in February, 2013.
