The House of Representatives has requested that the Minister of Health, provide the House with the details of the whereabouts of the Chinese medical team in the country.
The green chamber resolved that the Minister provide detailed status of the supposed Chinese medical team to the Speaker as agreed during their meetings on April 7th 2020.
The House went further to mandate that its committees on Interior, Health Care Services, National Intelligence and Foreign Affairs investigate the Chinese team, their whereabouts and who they really are.
This decision was sequel to a motion of urgent pubic importance moved by Shehu Koko on during the Tuesday plenary.
According to Shehu in his motion the Minister is giving contradictory statements on the status of the Chinese medics.
The Minister was recently quoted as saying that ’The CCECC is the host of the doctors, I do not know their whereabouts, there seems to be so much interest surrounding their whereabouts, they are staff of the CCECC, I would like if people are not disturbing my office’ this statement is contradictory to the one he said to the Speaker during the meeting.”
Ehanire added that “Following concerns raised by Nigerian, it is incumbent on our part to investigate there true situation of this Chinese doctors.”
When the motion was put to vote by the Speaker of the House, the “ayes” had it.
