Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to communicate here. I have a letter here - a copy of which I will also table - from NARC(K) signed by the Secretary General, hon. Mungatana dated 18th January. It is addressed to the Chairman of IIEC. For the benefit of the House, I would like to read it. It reads:-

What I said very clearly is that the procedure is simple. The nominating party communicates to the IIEC â and that is the law that is laid out â saying that they want to alter the nomination of Mr. âXâ for âY.â Once that is done and the IIEC verifies and communicates, I can only act on the basis of the letter from the IIEC.
