The last time I heard, Over 2.5 million dollars worth of condensate had gone missing from TOR.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we all want TOR working, and we don\u2019t want another ECG in TOR, [we should do the right thing else] it will break the back of government\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTOR has over $500 million worth of debt sitting on its books and go and look at how the debt is accumulated\u2013 people bring their crude to refine and then they record crude losses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t pay taxes for it to go down the drain. You pay taxes for an efficient running of government. Government, I can tell you, is doing so much work to bring TOR to work. There are proposals lying up in TOR, SIGA, Attorney General, and Finance Ministry all having a look. Getting it right is a difficult proposition we are working on.
