• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker that issue came up in our discussion with the Cabinet Secretary yesterday. I want to inform the hon. Member that we had actually engaged the KPC directly, because we are also concerned that those who had paid that higher fee should get a rebate. But they told us that, unfortunately, that was a direct cost for providing the service. Since they did not get a rebate from the Government, those who had paid before the reversal will not get a rebate. That is the position as it is. view
