In an interview on Joy News, he said: "We're holding the bull by its tail. We are looking for small flies to use as examples in our fight against corruption, instead of holding the top officials accountable," he remarked on JoyNews' PM Express.

Expressing concern about the weakening effectiveness of the Auditor-General's Office, Domelevo attributed the decline to actions taken against him by the President. He suggested that the fear instilled in personnel hampers their pursuit of public officials, fearing potential repercussions similar to his experience.
