Secretary to the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the Mahdia school dormitory fire Javed Shadick has said the site visit last Wednesday by the commission did not contradict the testimonies offered by witnesses at the public hearings.
At a press briefing last Monday, Shadick had said that the Mahdia Secondary School, Fire Station and hospital were among the sites slated for inspection by the commission. The team departed Georgetown for Mahdia at 7 am on Wednesday and returned approximately 5 pm.
It was announced at the same press briefing that based on the examination of testimonies offered by 29 witnesses, the CoI had decided that no more were needed at this point.
