He quoted KfW First Vice President Uwe Ohls as saying that the German government was insistent on conducting an independent review of the project by a respected and skilled international organisation on the basis of the terms of references submitted by the KfW to the RPC.
In this background, the KfW is literally forced to take back the funds it had promised for the DNPP and another project to supply DNPP's power to the national grid.
