    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has confirmed very clearly that, indeed, the Government has made commitments that were legally binding. The Government has, in fact, moved to the level of arbitration, following which the Attorney- General of Kenya advised the Minister for Finance to meet his obligation resulting from the arbitration. It is, however, very clear that the Ministry of Finance ignored the advice of the Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya. It is also clear that over US$6 million is now being frozen. It is also clear that interest continues to accrue even as the Government dilly-dallies in settling this matter. Mr. Speaker, Sir, why did the Government find itself in such an embarrassing situation by, first of all, subjecting itself to the process of arbitration and defying the advice of the Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya, who asked the Government to meet its obligation?"
