During his court appearance Eshan Juman claimed to be only a truck driver, although he was the deputy Lord Mayor. Mahmade Kodabaccus, the PMSD Lord Mayor, responded to Joomun in 2012 that "you are disqualified to talk about corruption, because you yourself symbolises corruption here" after Joomun had accused the Lord Mayor of dining with, and then awarding a contract to a particular supplier of curtains.
