Njuguna that one of the things that I am personally committed to and have already started implementing is taking an audit of all the pending claims against the Government. I have divided those claims into two; we have human rights violations which are several. Some of them are already pending in courts. For others, damages have already been awarded and I want to prioritise their payments. The others are court claims and contract claims against the Government. With regard to the court claims, I have prioritized them into different categories. We have road traffic accidents, injuries by wildlife et cetera . We also have Government contracts. We hope to have a comprehensive Cabinet Memorandum authorising the payment of all these pending claims. I want by the end of this parliamentary term, the Government not to owe the public any money in this respect."}
