He is awaiting the final report from Justice Auld and the Commission of Inquiry to make further assessments of the situation. However, he felt " clear signs of political amorality and immaturity and general administrative incompetence”, has demonstrated a need for the urgent suspension in whole or in part of the Constitution, and for other legislative and administrative reforms and change. due to the significant evidence presented to the commission of amorality and injustices by the Ministry, he must take immediate action. There was at this time no undertaking to set up criminal proceedings. However, he thought such was the strength of the evidence that a special prosecutor may be appointed.The sections of the constitutions that are being suspended are those relating to the Cabinet Ministerial Government and Parliament.
