•The official reason provided for the second postponement is that the administrative system does not yet support it.

•Internal NBTC sources claim NBTC Commissioners submitted a letter opposing the trial and requesting its cancellation.

•NBTC Commissioners alleged that the Acting Secretary-General of the NBTC had previously acted beyond their authority, such as renewing a Deputy Secretary-General's contract without NBTC approval.
