Hasty cancellation of AKSA contract could trigger judgment debt – Deputy AG warns

He explained that the government would instead have to undertake a comprehensive review of the agreement to determine whether the circumstances surrounding the bribery conviction provide grounds for invalidating the contract.

Dr Srem-Sai, however, said the government must first establish the legal consequences of the conviction for the contract before taking action.
