The committee is expected to investigate the unfortunate events that transpired on Tuesday, August 23 when some aggrieved members destroyed properties and assaulted the association’s staff over the rush for conference materials.
The NBA president also seized the occasion to begin some of his administration’s immediate objectives, including announcing the constitution of an Electoral Reform Committee to be chaired by Mr. E. Y. Kura (SAN), which has the mandate to reduce the campaign costs during NBA national elections.
