“We are indeed conducting investigations into several allegations involving this sector; however, we only commenced the probe yesterday. It is still too early for me to comment on our findings. If there is a case, we will proceed with investigations.
“… we have summoned them and they have come to the office to cooperate… There will be no arrests for the time being,” he told reporters after officiating at the opening of the MACC Academy (MACA) Basic Training Centre (PLA) here today.
