So I will repeat my question.
When some employees raised the possibility of a conflict of interest, you told them that you had done the prerequisite checking, that there was no conflict of interest, and that everything was fine. Several people, who were in the room when you spoke, are able to testify to that for the purposes of our study. Afterward, the board of directors rejected the project. Quite obviously, the conflict of interest was so flagrant that it is reasonable for the board of directors to say there was a bit of a problem there.
First, how was it that you submitted this project to the board of directors as if there was nothing wrong, as if there was no conflict of interest?
Second, you told your employees, who had raised doubts, that there was no conflict of interest and you had done the necessary checking; how do you explain that? How can you justify telling your employees that you had checked? Did you make a mistake? Did you dream that you had checked?
Your testimony seems to flatly contradict the testimony of several employees who were in the room when you confirmed that you had done the necessary checking regarding the conflict of interest.
I need an answer. I have asked you several questions now and got no answers. Please answer the question.
