The House of Representatives resolved to investigate an alleged US$1.35 billion scam in the power sector. Following a motion by Patrick Ikhariale, its Committee on Power was mandated to look into the Mambilla hydroelectric power project contract, said to have been awarded to China Gezhouba Group Corporation and later re-awarded to Sinohydro without due process, leading to litigation that stalled the project.
