A motion moved by Chika Madumere (Nkwerre) during plenary called on the House to cause the Accountant General and Finance Commissioner to appear before it and give the actual debt profile of the State on the grounds that the State Governor had insisted that Imo State is not indebted.
She said the accounts would provide an update on the debt status of the State.

Another motion for the 27 local Government Chairmen to appear before the House on Wednesday was considered.
Hon. Arthur Egwim (Ideato North) had moved the motion.
