After listening to submissions from the joint delegation, I urged them to let cool heads prevail and to approach their issues with a great deal of objectivity, devoid of emotional sentiments. I further asked them to put their concerns in writing, so that, the necessary interventions could be made. I look forward to subsequently engaging all stakeholders around the table, in order to get to the bottom of this matter.
