However, he expressed delight that significant progress had been made in returning significant sums of money to the nation and reclaiming properties that corrupt officials had illegally amassed.
He added: “I did pursue this commitment relentlessly, in spite of the expected pushback. I am happy that considerable progress had been made in repatriating huge sums of money back to the country and also taking over properties illegally acquired from our commonwealth.
