The House of Representatives on Thursday resolved to set up an ad-hoc committee to investigate the activities of the National Pension Commission from April 2017 till date.

The resolution followed a motion of urgent public importance on the need to investigate the commission over the violation of the PENCOM Act and the illegal use of public funds.

The sponsor of the motion, Rep. Benjamin Wayo, informed the house that the acting Director General of the commission had increased her terminal benefits and that of other senior staff of the commission by 300%.

The ad-hoc committee has four weeks to conclude its investigation.
