The confusion over whether a Commission of Inquiry has been appointed to investigate Special Purpose Business and Agriculture leases, which we first reported on 3 days ago - Confusion over Land Grab Commission of Inquiry - has deepened with the publication of a further newspaper advert, this time in The National.

The Prime Ministers department needs to urgently clear up the confusion which was created when his media team recalled a Media Statement announcing the Inquiry on 27 June, less than two hours after it had first been released. Since then there has been no word directly from the Prime Minister or his media team, just two newspaper adverts, the first in the Sunday Chronicle and now The National.
