    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have stated, the report was prepared as a result of claims by various oil companies in the Triton saga. Basically, the report talks about the cases of each of those companies. Several companies have gone to court. We have discussed with them to take the matter out of court and come for arbitration. We are holding discussions with them. Last time, I listed the various stages that we have gone through. I have no pleadings, but I seek your indulgence because even in the preamble to the report, it is stated that the report has been prepared for the client for use in negotiating a settlement with the various financers, or for use in defending the KPC in the on-going legal proceedings currently before the court or in the anticipated arbitration and as such, it is subject to legal privilege. A few of our former staff have also been taken to court by KACA and the matter is before the court. I will cite one particular case No.18 of 2009, which is now before the court. Whereas I do not have the pleadings here, our position will be highly prejudiced if we discuss this report openly. There are only three copies of the report available to us. KACA is also having a similar thing going on. So, there are issues of arbitration because the companies are waiting to see how we will proceed. We want to defend our position as much as possible."
