    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. This is a very substantial report and the House thus needs to look at it; I have had a glimpse of it. There is a contract in which there is an arbitration agreement. I have seen an arbitral award and the decisions of about three judges, that is, of the High Court and the Court of Appeal. They appear to be saying that the arbitral award has to be upheld. So, we have a situation where we are going against--- There is a possibility that the report – I will not talk much about it now that it has not been presented – is in contradiction of the position of the Judiciary as consistently taken that money has to be paid. The direction I was seeking in addition to having this matter discussed and debated properly next week is whether, indeed, really this was not a matter that required the joint sitting of the Public Investments Committee (PIC) and the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. The Judiciary falls within the ambit of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. The interpretation of all these decisions requires the input of this Committee. I am going to request and agree in part with hon. Mbadi that we consider those situations in which there can be joint sittings of the Committees so that decisions are properly made."
