The former minister made the comments on Wednesday, July 15, 2015 while speaking to Vanguard.

He said:

 “I have heard them mention my name as if the money was taken under my watch. The truth is that I had left office before the money was allegedly taken. It did not happen during my tenure and that is what Nigerians should find out.”

 “Yes, I went to the ICPC the other day to clear my name. I told them what I knew about the money said to have been stolen and made it clear to them that it did not happen under my watch.”

Orubebe was appointed a minister by former President,Goodluck Jonathan and served from 6 April 2010 to 12 February 2014.
