when it happnesSona has a high ranking family member in the current government and they are doing all they can to make sure that this is not seen as a favor to SONA or taken as a scandal so they are keeping quite and letting HC do all they need too prior to approving and not meddling in.
There are also rumors that HC may have done their own validation and thus the delay.
When it comes it will come and we will be greatly rewarded for keeping the faith.
