She admitted that there may be some overlapping in their investigations, but said their mandates are different.

She noted that an independent commission's inquiry will be relatively more comprehensive, since it covers both private and public flats.

It will also find out who is responsible for the contamination.

Two other task forces have been set up to look into the source of the heavy metal and to pinpoint supervisory shortfalls.
