Punch reports that the House of Representatives has set up an ad hoc committee to investigate claims that versions of new tax laws in circulation differ from what the National Assembly passed.
The controversy is high-stakes: investors and citizens need certainty on what the law actually says—especially ahead of the planned January 2026 effective date.
Verification: Premium Times confirms the House set up a seven-member committee to probe alleged discrepancies, while The Guardian reported the political demand to shift commencement.
Quotes: Premium Times: “set up a seven-member ad hoc committee to investigate alleged discrepancies…” The Guardian: “demanded that the commencement date… be shifted…”
Analysis/Echotitbits take: If citizens believe laws can be altered after passage, legitimacy collapses. Watch for publication of an authenticated gazette, version control, and sanctions if wrongdoing is established.
