The president of Petrobras, Graça Foster, will be invited in the coming days to explain to members of the Committee of Financial Supervision and Control Board details on complaints involving contracts between the state and the company SBM Offshore. The application is approved recently, the college expects to hear what Petrobras has made about suspected irregularities, since the case was publicized. The expectation is that the public hearing with Foster still occur this month. 
The invitation was approved a day after lawmakers decided to set up an external committee to monitor the investigation into bribes paid by the company, headquartered in the Netherlands, officials of the Brazilian state. Disclosed by complaints by opposition parties to the government, the payment would be made to ensure lease oil rig contracts between 2005 and 2012.
The presence of Grace Foster is independent of the installation of the external committee, which will have members appointed by the parties. According to the officers of the House, President House, Henrique Eduardo Alves (PMDB-RN), must today (12) set the size of the college and the first timelines. 
Until this occurs, the Audit Committee and Control also decided to invite the Minister of Mines and Energy, Edison Lobao, to speak on the same subject.
Among the names of ministers who will be invited to Arthur's Chioro (Health), to clarify details about the recruitment of Cuban doctors to More Doctors Program. The application was received calmly by the PT, the government party. The former leader of the House subtitle, José Guimarães (EC), said that "if the provision is to hear the minister about the program, the bench agrees to call it." According to Guimarães, Chioro might appear at any moment. 
The information led the author of the document, Mendonça, leader of the DEM, to set a date. He said the Health Minister should attend the collegiate next Wednesday (19). "The information is serious, involving slave labor and have not been clarified," he said Mendonça.
