News that Libya is about to receive $1.8 billion in cash as the UN Sanctions Committee lifted the freeze on that country's funds yesterday, is welcome but raises questions again about John Key's decision to commit of 'millions' from New Zealand, says Maryan Street, Opposition Spokesperson on Foreign Affairs and Overseas Development Assistance.

"John Key needs to answer why he was so quick to pledge millions to an oil-rich country which had imminent access to frozen funds and yet the government has been extremely slow to deliver $2 million to Somalia where the world's worst drought continues to take the lives of untold numbers of children," said Maryan Street.
