James Agalga, the ranking member of the ad hoc committee looking into the leaked IGP tape, has announced the completion of the committee's investigation.

He further disclosed that the committee's report is currently in a draft stage, awaiting validation by its members.

Mr Agalga informed the media that although the investigations have concluded, the committee has not been able to convene to unanimously approve and adopt the report, as required by the Standing Orders of the House.

The ongoing budget-related activities in Parliament have hindered the committee's meetings.

“The committee has concluded the investigations, and we have a draft report that is yet to be considered by all the members of the committee because, per the Standing Orders, draft reports are subject to approval by the members of the committee, so that is what is outstanding.”

“Unfortunately, we are in the budget season and all the members are caught up in their various committees and are working on budget estimates. I had warned that there was a need for us to act expeditiously so that we could have skipped the budget season, but things did not happen that way so we are hoping that as soon as we are done with the budget estimates, we can convene and adapt the report”, he said.
