“The reason we distributed the materials early is that the office we occupy now has a small storage capacity.
“The storage facility cannot accommodate all the materials, so as the materials come we dispatch to our local government offices.
“The non-sensitive materials we have received so far are not complete so as they come in batches we distribute because of lack of space to keep them.”
