The relevant parties which may be considered include: NGOs, CBOs, similar institutions, individual members of the public, political parties, etc.
Having gone through the scheduled process of the oral public hearings, the Enquiry is now affording the last opportunity for different parties (individuals and/or organisations) to submit in writing relevant inputs. Upon receiving written submissions, the Enquiry may decide to invite parties for oral hearings at a date and venue to be announced in due course.
