He said he was pleasantly surprised to discover the existence of a Petitions Vetting Committee which examines every petition to determine their relevance to the mandate of the EFCC. He explained that one of his constituents who had petitioned the Commission recently got a reply from the committee, explaining why his petition could not be treated. This, to him, demonstrated sensitivity and commitment to service.
