Former Auditor-General and member of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee, Daniel Domelevo, has strongly rejected allegations of witch-hunting against the committee, asserting, “If this is truly witch-hunting, it will not withstand scrutiny in court.”
In an interview on Citi FM, Domelevo explained that while the issues raised in the ORAL report may not be definitive, anyone who believes they have been falsely accused has the right to seek justice through the legal system.
“If you think that we’ve damaged your reputation, you can go to court,” Domelevo stated.
Despite questions surrounding the legal standing of the ORAL report, Domelevo emphasized that investigations fall outside their mandate.
He clarified that the ORAL report is based on the evidence presented and does not have the authority to probe the numerous cases brought forward by individuals.
Rejecting claims of witch-hunting, Domelevo reiterated, “If it is truly witch hunting, it will fail in court.” He acknowledged that while the ORAL report may not have all the conclusive answers, those who feel wronged have legal avenues to seek redress.
