    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the question raised by Mr. Kutuny, it is true that an answer was prepared, but looking at the issues which are being canvassed here, they are exactly the issues which are before the Court of Appeal. That goes to answer what Mr. K. Kilonzo is asking. Actually, the issue which was our dispute is the question of whether the products were food supplements which were, therefore, not exempted from payment of duty or not. That is the matter on which the court actually ruled. It is exactly the same issue. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as to whether we should be seeking advice from the Attorney- General before we come here, I think this was a straightforward case because it is a subjudice issue and we are ready to comply to provide all the information that you have directed me to give in respect of this particular issue. This is not a case which, perhaps, required advice from the Attorney-General because we know that sub judice is sub judice and Parliament is not supposed to discuss on it. What we need to do is to provide all these documents you have asked me bring. If you can give me up to Tuesday I will do so."
