    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the payment of awards, as it is stipulated in our laws today, do not have a specific timeframe within which they should be settled. In any event, it is really the business of those parties that have been awarded those amounts to pursue settlement with the Government. I agree with the fact that these are huge amounts. In fact, in ten years, we will be talking of Kshs5.2 billion, which translates to about Kshs500 million in a year. So, it is substantial. However, the issue is not really the amount; the issue is whether those awards are properly settled. I think that is not the question before us today. So, as it is today, we do not have a specific timeframe within which awards should be made. They should just be pursued by the litigants who have proved their claims against the Government."
