The decision was approved after several cases were filed against the tribunal, and it received support from the Judiciary Committee. The report submitted by the committee indicates that the agency was involved in activities related to corruption during the previous administration. The committee has decided to forward this case to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) for further investigation.
