The question was why there has been a delay. I have said that we have agreed to pay; I have also tabled the copies of correspondence between various arms of the Government on this matter; we have been very transparent, indeed. I do not see what other role Parliament can play in this matter. The issue was to have these Commissioners paid and they are going to be paid. So, I do not see any further role that this Parliament wants to play; its role is very clear, it is oversight."}
