The primary duty of the Special Liquidators is to the creditors of IBRC and not to KPMG. I fully expect that the actions they take are taken in the best interests of the liquidation and I do not propose to intervene in matters such as these.

As this is a matter that is currently before the Courts i am not in a position to comment any further on it.
