According to the Vice President, the president trusts in their integrity, hence their selection to help government and the nation get to the bottom of the matter which has attracted widespread condemnation from various sections of the public locally and internationally.

I don’t think anyone can really question the integrity of the people who are here constituting the commission’’ he averred.
