They even have no business investigating these things; the law says they should be referring to us and to the EACC and we will do our work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said the taskforce &#8220;cannot be the judge in their own case; it&#8217;s not possible.  How objective can they be?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We cannot say there will be any objective outcome that is expected\u2026 the commission itself is on record in a public conference having said that they had given a clean bill of health to the recruitment except for a few centres.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will be creating a gigantic problem in this country\u2026it&#8217;s a very small price to pay for us to repeat this process in the interest of the country.
