“I am by this letter humbly and respectfully asking His Excellency the President and eminent members of the Council of State to forward the petitions against me to me and allow me at least seven days after receipt of the same to provide my response,” she wrote.

She further argued that her response should be included in the consultation process under Article 146(6) of the Constitution before any decision is made regarding a potential Committee of Inquiry under Article 146(7).
