2.     The Committee is of the opinion that the project in support of which the proceeds of such additional
financing are to be applied continues to come within the purposes of the Association as set forth in Article I
of said Articles of Agreement, and that said project is designed to promote the economic development of the
Republic of Kenya and is of high developmental priority in the light of the needs of the Republic of Kenya.
3.     Accordingly, the Committee finds that said project continues to merit financial assistance from the
