The head of the Secretariat, however, did not give details, particulars and identities of the petitioners and their parties but promised to do so tomorrow.
“What I can tell you now is that we have received 10 petitions so far, I can’t mention their names for now but by Thursday, certainly I will tell you. The work is stressful. What I am doing now is signing and documentation.
By Thursday, I will transfer them to a register”, he stated.
