WASHINGTON, D.C. -

Two more individuals alleging discrimination within the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau have been subpoenaed to testify for the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations that’s part of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee.

Now scheduled to appear during a session set for next Wednesday afternoon are:

— Ali Naraghi, an examiner for the Southeast region within the CFPB’s Division of Supervision, Fair Lending and Enforcement

— Kevin Williams, a former quality monitor within the Office of Consumer Response at the CFPB

According a memo issued before the committee voted this week in favor of subpoenaing these individuals, “The subcommittee believes that these individuals have knowledge pertinent to the subcommittee’s investigation of allegations of improper actions at the CFPB relating to, among other matters, employee discrimination and retaliation. Mr. Naraghi and Mr. Williams have requested that the subcommittee compel their testimony to protect their interests and/or to guard against retaliation by the CFPB.”

Wednesday’s hearing will be the third orchestrated by this subcommittee to examine potential discrimination at the bureau. Previous sessions included testimony from Misty Raucci, a private investigator hired by the CFPB to investigate alleged discrimination claims made by Angela Martin, who works as an attorney at the bureau and told the subcommittee that she was discriminated against and when she filed a complaint, faced retaliation for doing so.

The second hearing featured Liza Strong, director of employee relations at the CFPB; and Ben Konop, Executive Vice President of the CFPB’s employee union, Chapter 335 of the National Treasury Employees Union. That session also was to have included Stacey Bach, assistant director of the CFPB’s Office of Equal Employment Opportunity, but Bach requested her testimony be postponed due to a medical condition.

“The fact is that discrimination on the basis of race, sex or other prohibited factors is destructive, morally repugnant, and against the law,” said Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee chairman Rep. Patrick McHenry, a Republican from North Carolina.

“All government agencies, including the CFPB, must continue to combat discrimination in employment and punish those responsible for discrimination,” McHenry added.
