    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. colleague is urging me to move faster. However, I want to make some clarification on some of the issues, which I feel are not true and factual. It is not true that we spent Kshs200 million in terms of legal fees. This is because since the organisation was set up, the total amount of legal fees paid out is Kshs161 million, of which a sum of Kshs134 million was paid prior to my taking over the Ministry. A sum of Kshs27 million was paid during my tenure as legal fees. It is also important to indicate that since Legal Notice No.2 of 2006 was put in place, those who were supposed to do the importation were still having a balance of 28,000 metric tonnes. 2456 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 27, 2006 Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this amendment on one ground, that my colleague knows what it means to be convicted of a crime that one has not committed. He now wants me to be convicted and to step aside on issues that I have not committed. If it was not because of our good law process, my colleague could have been a criminal. He was acquitted after a conviction that was passed by a court of law over issues of corruption. This is something that disturbs me---"
