I spoke to a lawyer (just a friendly conversation without all details) who said that KK might be able to approach the courts to 'deposit' the KShs 530mn or so... [Or issue an irrevocable Bank Guarantee]
KPRL can then be compelled under a certificate of urgency to allow crude to be processed at the old rates... any 'difference' to be deposited with the courts...
ERC wud have no cause to suspend KK... MoE would also shut up... Then the court/arbitration process would start...
