"We are confronted by two pandemics. One is a health crisis and its outlook is very macabre, the other, there’s not a health crisis, but it is also a pandemic, which is corruption itself and corruption-related activities. The zeal with which the administration has approached the fight in respect of the health crisis. I also see in respect of the other pandemic, which is corruption"
"Are we ready for the fight against corruption?, from where I sit, I don’t think we are. We expect so much from the institutions fighting corruption, but collectively, are we ready?"
"No, you think no one offended me before I became a Special Prosecutor? Why then don’t I use my power and go back and start making the list of all the people who crossed me or the people who fell out of favour with me and start going after them? This is not how we conduct business. The Attorney General is a friend of mine but that doesn’t mean I am going to settle scores for any named individual but if you have your fight with someone in court, that is your kettle of fish"
"The issues of state capture, corruption, and fraud are a collective pandemic in our part of the world. This tri-malady has every intention of staying with us unless we act."
