The council whose activities the committee is asked to examine is the Suva City Council and this includes both the elected councillors and the officers of the Council. We have come to the 
conclusion that we must concentrate first on the existing Council, and although it may be necessary to seek clarification about activities of the previous elected councils, the inquiry of this nature will have to confine itself to the immediate past.
