I am shocked that the Secretary General would continue to pay those companies that level of money without knowing the numbers involved, and that somebody within the Department who is responsible for this area would continue to allow the issue go unchecked to a degree. If checked, one might find one is paying too little or too much. That is a difficulty one might have. However, the Secretary General said she does not know.
