So why does his gov't push this issue back to parliament?
Hiyo ni mdomo tu.
Trying to look for excuses to pay.
What is wrong with that? Dude, it cannot just be an Executive Order!
@Ectasy, let me explain why personally I have a problem with it. Read this article:
http://www.capitalfm.co....wont-pay-anglo-leasing/
I quote "“We have not paid any single cent and we are not intending to part with any single coin in payment for dubious projects whose origin we don’t know about. We know there is a court ruling that the government pays Sh1.4 billion
but we have said Parliament will have the final say on the matter,” said Ruto."
On one side Ruto says, govt dont want to pay, but goes ahead to say "Parliament will have the final say"...Now listening to the MP today in the morning, that Langat guy, says they will be recomending the govt to pay. Just as this article says. Now, if the FINAL SAY is by parliament, and the parliament is showing an indication they will recomend payment, what next? Ruto should have just said clearly whether he is paying or not, and not leave it to parliament. As it stands now, he told us the parliament will decide, its like he transfered the decision to some other party, so as to leave a loop hole of "We were not willing to pay, its just that the parliament decided we should, and thus we had no option" Remember parliament is actually getting advise from AG and the Treasury boss, both of whom speaks for the Executive anyway, and therefore I assume they are speaking for their boss.
