However, the ADC said the President’s reference to a court order represented “a remarkable new twist” because the anti-graft agency had not previously mentioned any such order in its public explanations for the action.
The development, according to the ADC, raised questions about the source of the President’s claim that a court order existed.
“The obvious question, therefore, is: where did the President obtain the information that a court order existed?”
The ADC also questioned the President’s position on the operational independence of anti-corruption agencies.
