    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for protecting me. Section 74 of the Public Procurement and Asset Deposal Act does allow circumstances under which a procuring entity can do direct procurement. With all due respect, I agree that direct procurement has its own problems and it should not be encouraged. There are instances in this country where direct procurement has led to corruption, but in this instance, if there was an issue, the person who should have been culpable, in my view, is the Attorney-General because he gave the concurrence. If there was a problem with direct procurement of that law firm, the State Law Office should have said, no, this is illegal and it should have refused that situation. Madam Temporary Speaker, another reason why we have an adverse finding against that law firm is because there is an allegation that there were some funds, which were paid to that law firm by the suppliers. When you look at the original contract, it did not anticipate something called self-financing."
