Govt ordered to pay P43m into airport account

He stated that the order must be enforced because none of the parties contested it at DAB.

He said the DAB decision was final and binding on both parties. The state had refused to obey the order saying that a case on the matter is pending at the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in London. Charles Gulubane for the state argued that the matter should be struck out because it is tantamount to running a parallel case to the one before the ICC. He said the ICC case will determine the legality of the government’s termination of Sinohydro’s contract for the construction of SSKIA and subsequently determine how the performance bond in dispute should be handled.
