ORAL Data Included A Lot Of 'Konkonsa' Information -Domelevo

The former Auditor-General clarified that the real test of those claims would be determined in court, where the amounts could change significantly.

“The actual game is in the courtroom,” he said. “When you get to the courtroom, the amount may reduce significantly. And I cautioned then that even if we should win the $21 or $22 billion, collecting it is another game altogether.”

Mr. Domelevo further explained that the ORAL team, accepted every submission received, regardless of credibility.

“A preliminary investigation may even show that some of the complaints were just noise. There’s nothing in it. But we collected the data as it did so, including the garbage,” he stated.“Nobody came to us that we turned away and said, yours we will not take.”

“Being an experienced auditor, I know that you can even submit documents, and later on, when we test the document, they may not have any substance or may not be authentic,” he noted. “So there will be a lot of garbage in it. There’s no two ways about that.”
