(1)-(2) I am unaware of any of the investigations. This matter has come to the fore over a period of time. I am unaware of any investigation being undertaken by the CCC or the police, and nor should I be aware. I have nothing further to add to this matter. The important thing in this whole equation is that in relation to my conduct, I have been cleared totally of any illegal, corrupt or other deal.
