    "content": "I agree with my learned friend that successful litigants do not have to beg. That is what my office clearly communicates, as I stated in the reply, in a number of circulars, written to all the accounting officers. We have impressed upon them to pay promptly. For example, in the circular that I sent out on 29th June, 2005, paragraph N which deals with settlement of awards and judgments; we advised client Ministries that they should ensure that judgments are settled promptly to avoid accruing interest. If I may take this opportunity, because this is a problem that we have to address, it may very well be that since the Office of the A-G does not have the mandate to pay and the decretory amounts are paid by the Ministries concerned, that these Questions be directed to the Ministries concerned so that the Minister and the Accounting Officer can come here and inform this House why they have failed to pay on time."
