Your article, entitled “Former BNFYL yet to hand over office”, which appeared in yesterday’s issue (dated April 6, 2017) hereby refers.

“BNF has a poor culture of committees failing to hand over when they are voted out of office, as the new central committee is also struggling with the previous committee to do proper hand over to the treasurer.  The two issues are expected to be top of the agenda at the next central committee meeting scheduled for next month, after the secretary general failed to act on the youth concerns”.

Not all the members from the out going and the in coming central committees were there, due other pressing commitments. But as at now, the process has long been concluded.
