“I write to notify Your Excellency of my decision to withdraw my services from the office of the Chairman of Anti-Deforestation Task Force. My reasons for the withdrawal are directly connected with the consistent interferences in the operations of the ATF by other agencies of Government; without any attempt at joint consultations or synergy. In particular also, the total lack of security cover over all the field staff and operatives that had been deployed by ATF into strategic positions all over the State, has constituted another major hinderance.”
