The Imo State House of Assembly yesterday began the process of inventory and recovery of property allegedly stolen by officials of the immediate past administration.
Speaker Chiji Collins, who spoke to journalists in Owerri after the inspection of facilities belonging to the assembly, said a committee had been set up to recover stolen property.
He said: “We have finished touring the House of Assembly complex, the speaker’s lodge and that of the deputy speaker. The level of decay is highly unbelievable. The complex was renovated last year but it is very unfortunate that it has broken down with cracks up and down. It is clear that those who undertook the renovation work did a very poor job.”
“We have set up a committee to begin the recovery of stolen government properties belonging to the Imo state House of Assembly.”
