The National Oil Company of Liberia (NOCAL) has made it categorically clear that it never disbursed funds to the House of Representatives for the purpose of holding the nation-wide consultations on the new Exploration Production Act of 2013.

NOCAL rejects insinuations and reports emanating from individuals and institutions to the effect that the entity disbursed either the amount of US$1.2 million or US$900,000 to the House of Representatives to conduct the nation-wide oil consultations.

In a release issued Monday, February 2, 2015, the oil company clarified that it provided only "technical related support" to the Legislature during the planning and holding of the nation-wide oil consultations.
