Consequently, it was agreed that a Committee comprising of five members from the bench and bar be constituted to work out modalities for implementation of the Justice Sector recommendations.
Furthermore, the NBA President on behalf of the delegation, pledged to continue speaking up for the Bench since the code guiding members of the Bench bars them from responding to attacks meted on its members.
