The public hearings for the Arms Procurement Commission will resume after a two week postponement, on 19 August 2013 (Monday)...read more- Reasons for the adjournment of the public hearings, 08 August 2013

The President has since decided that the Commission will be constituted for the time being by the two commissioners. See the media statement to this effect released at 19h32 on Tuesday, 6th August 2013...read more- Commencement of public hearings on 05 Aug, 02 August 2013
