He stated that "If he fails to publish the contents of the report, the decision to take part in the deliberations of the bill or not is going to be taken at the level of leadership and, so, for now we will not want to disclose what strategies are up our sleeves."
Addressing journalists in Parliament, Agalga noted that "When the time comes, we shall advise ourselves appropriately."
The Commission was set up by the President to investigate the violence that characterised the January 31, bye-election at Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency.
The report is, however, yet to be made known to the public after it submitted it to the President.
