It's not uncommon for a complex investigation to last six to 18 months.

An investigation may take six months. A quick interview, profile, a day.

It's not uncommon to find them.

We need between three to six months. I am not going to specify the periods now because we have an international committee actually involving the European Union, the United States, Canada, Japan and Norway who work with us in the local government elections. I will convene this committee as soon as possible.

I would be very surprised if they did not emerge in the next six months. But they've had a lot of misfires, and if they were better focused at the top they'd be out by now. They can get out, but if they don't do it with new management they'll be back in if they're not careful.

Nothing has changed over the last six months. He has just caved in. He's not getting anything in return for the concessions he is making.
