-----it is a matter that will have importance attaching to it. The reality is that when people are talking about negotiations, and I have no difficulty in having further debate on this in the House, I pose the question, renegotiations by whom? An impression is being given that somehow the people who have negotiated on behalf of the State, namely, the Governor of the Central Bank, the Financial Regulator, the chief executive of the National Treasury Management Agency and the Secretary General of the Department of Finance, will somehow be replaced by another group of people, perhaps political people who would debate differently and decide differently on behalf of the State.
