    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, I was glad when you referred that Petition to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. We have a long list of Ex-Army officers who are having such claims as alluded to by Hon. Nyamita. All these cases end up being in court; from the Court Martial to the High Court. The High Court cleared and awarded damage charges. If you inquire from the Government and especially, the Ministry of Defence and the Attorney-General’s Office, there is a pending appeal. The Government had appealed before the judgement was made. There are many such cases, actually, a colossal sum of money was awarded to those Ex-army officers. The Budget and Appropriations Committee has powers in this House to appropriate. Hon. Nyamita’s case should be covered there. The Budget and Appropriations Committee will look into the judgment of the High Court and whether there is any live appeal in the Court of Appeal on the same matter then, they will make an informed decision. Thank you."
