\u201cThe office which I chair wishes to reassure the public that it has taken up the matter and is treating it with the greatest rigour and with all the seriousness that it deserves.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the office informs the public that no decision has been made as falsely conveyed in some publications,\u201d Haa<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone must allow the Office to do its work and let the process of examining this case to take its course. The opinion of all the governors will be sought for its successful outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n
