3. At its meetings held on 20 and 21 July 2012, the Commission considered the Presiding Officer's findings and recommendation and Ms Ndamase's representations. The Commission was of the view that the conduct for which Ms Ndamase was found guilty was so serious that it justified her removal from office. It, therefore, resolved to accept the recommendation of the Presiding Officer and to recommend to the Minister that Ms Ndamase be removed from office.
