the Government has an interest;
c) To represent the Government in Court or any other legal

76. In his letter dated 12th April, 2012 and addressed to the Inspector
General of Government, the Attorney General explained the content

informally requested the Solicitor General to stay the
clearance for, it is stated there was an on-going inquiry.
If the enquiry referred to be the one comprised in the report
forwarded, there is no bar to this office clearing the draft
Memorandum of Understanding ………………..
As long as you have not formally brought to our notice any
wrong doing on the party of M/S Quality Chemical Industries
Limited, the current Memorandum of Understanding is cleared
with the comments.
Your office can still go ahead with the investigations if you so
wish.”
