At the time, I remarked that “It was wrong in my view to wish away the decision of the working committee simply on the advice sought from their counsel without seeking to invalidate that decision before a competent tribunal. I am of the view that president Gaolathe must seek audience with the courts to set aside the decisions of the committee for having been erroneously made under the apprehension that the powers so existed.
To leave things as is and proceed on the basis that the decision to call off the elections and the ultimate suspensions are of no force and effect, is to create a breeding ground for anarchy and lawlessness. The nation needs clarity on this issue, and we cannot have whispers in divergence.
