MP accused of turning oversight role into cash cow

MURMURS ARE GROWING louder about a first-term lawmaker who has purportedly turned his oversight mandate into a personal cash machine. According to some state agency bosses within the department he is providing oversight to, the MP—known for his fiery committee sessions and sudden wealth—has been leaning heavily on them, allegedly demanding kickbacks in exchange for “favourable verdicts”. But the agencies are biting back. Top brass from at least three entities is reportedly compiling a dossier of damning evidence, including recordings and message trails. With the heat rising and threats flying, it’s only a matter of time before this scandal spills into the open— setting the stage for an explosive showdown that could rock the august House.
