said he had nothing to hide from the Senate on the allegations levelled against
him and would only resurface after sorting out the issue of threats to his life
and that of his family members by those he described as agents of pension

Maina
said his non-appearance before the Senate was a deliberate ploy to avoid being
pinned to a corner by some Senators who he said have been calling him names and
were never prepared to give him a fair hearing, notwithstanding that many of
them knew that he did not steal a penny from the pension funds he had so far
recovered.

The PRTT
Chairman attributed the hype on his whereabouts as the handiwork of pension
thieves, who according to him had sworn to deal ruthlessly with him while
making several attempts to his life all the same, a reason he said he had to go
underground.

Maina
said he was not surprised at the turn of events which he stressed have now
thrown up those he was after for looting the Pension funds, as the ones now in
control with veritable opportunity to determine his fate in line with their
earlier threats,. He wondered why the government of the day was not going after
such individuals, rather than coming after him.

he had taken his case to a court of law to fight for safety while safeguarding
his personal integrity, stating that he would appear to answer every question
put to him on the allegations being levelled against him, the moment his safety
was guaranteed.

Hassan,
in a statement, said the allegations he described as spurious emanated from
Senators Etuk and Kabiru Gaya, two members of the Senate pension probe
Committee who he said bitterly hated the Pension Task Team with intense
passion. He said there was no established fact to support the Senate’s
allegations against him.

Hassan
said the PRTT was convinced that the Senate Pension Probe Committee had grossly
misinformed and misled the entire Senate with what he described as “a
fictitious report muddled up with a multitude of naked untrue and misleading
unjustifiable conclusions against the Pension Reform Task Team.”
