Yes, Mr Chairman, in doing what I did, I was executing my duties as a policeman, the way I saw it, as my obligation during the time of the conflict and the political violence.  We were conditioned by speeches of politicians and directions by senior officers to do everything in our power to confront the revolutionary onslaught at all costs.  There were times when in terms of the prevailing legislation of the time, it wasn't possible to solve all problems that came one's way and this present case is an example of such an instance.
	In view of the above, I was of the bona fide belief that what I did was in the present instance in order to combat or derail the revolutionary onslaught and to protect the government and it's National Party from political embarrassment.  It fell within my express and implied authority.  
	Mr Chairman I did not participate in these events for any personal gain, or driven by any personal spite or malice and I received no reward.
