believe natural justice has been served. I know they will continue their search for justice because they are not convinced that the process has been fair, equitable and transparent. While ever there are people who believe that, the matter will not rest, no matter that the minister, ETD or CIT senior personnel may wish it to go away.
Only on Monday—yesterday—I received a copy of an email sent by one of the complainants to the Chief Minister. They have appealed for her intervention. The Commissioner for Public Administration reports to the Chief Minister, and it is his investigation and their disappointment in his process and findings that drive them on.
