.

He said: "When I said the money was given to the politicians, I never meant that the money was for their personal use or their political use.

He also said that unless necessary, he would never discuss anything that was not for the betterment of the nation. "It is sad that this had come to the public domain following the report that was leaked out. The report should not have been made public but it is unfortuntate.
