"Since 2017, in my capacity as the chief executive officer of PanSALB, I have been trying to seek a discussion with the Heads of Courts about this resolution, without any success," he said. The board said there was a constitutional obligation on the state to take practical and positive measures to elevate the status of and advance the use of the nine languages.
