00:00Junior Sammy Company scored a victory against the Estate Management Business Development Company on Tuesday.
00:06Senior Counsel Ramesh Lawrence Miraj, who represented the contractor, held a news conference on Tuesday hailing the victory.
00:13While today, Attorney General Reginald Amoh responded to some comments by Miraj.
00:18It was prudent in my respectful view for the EMBD against the background of the rush to award contracts
00:25leading up to the General Election in September 2015
00:31to have thoroughly audited all claims at the point at which the audit revealed
00:37that there was insufficient evidence to support the allegations of fraud
00:42and that was in due course properly conceded.
00:46Responding to Amoh today, Miraj pointed out that the Privy Council ruling says
00:51the EMBD failed to show that the potential defences of abatement or fraud are more than fanciful or speculative.
