    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that a Mr. Okiya Dindi Victor, of Nachimo Enterprises claims that he is owed US $12,500 for renovation work which he undertook for the embassy of the DRC. However, the embassy observed that Mr. Okiya had been paid in full, for his services. According to information available, Mr. Okiya signed a contract with the embassy on 9th September, 1999 to undertake renovation work at the ambassador's residence. He was to construct a security wall around the ambassador's residence and the contract was worth US $25,000. (b) The embassy confirmed that he was paid US $12,500 for the renovation and repair works at the residence. The embassy maintains that he did not complete the works he had been contracted to do, which could have entitled him to the US $25,000. The embassy, has further informed us that on several occasions, it invited Mr. Okiya with his lawyer, and the representative of the Kenya Quarry and Mine Workers Union, whose support he sought to get paid, to carry out a joint inspection of the work he had done. However, he has not done anything about it. So, there is no indication that he has accepted the invitation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, consequently, the embassy says that he is not entitled to any payment."
