The ranking member of the ad hoc committee investigating the leaked IGP tape, James Agalga, has announced the completion of the committee's probe.

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

While addressing the media, Agalga explained that although the investigations have been concluded, the committee has faced challenges in convening a meeting for the unanimous approval and adoption of the report, as mandated by the Standing Orders of the House.

He attributed this delay to budget-related parliamentary activities that have hindered the committee from assembling.

“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.
