The notice requested affected CMOs to make presentations to the Commission on or before Nov. 13, giving reasons why their registration should not be cancelled.
It urged the CMOs to forward hard copies of their presentations to its head office while electronic copies should be sent to: [email protected] and also to: [email protected]
