Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I said is that out of the 89,000 tonnes of sugar which were to imported into this country, 30 per cent of it was to be brought in by one or two sugar companies in this country. What happened is that Mumias Sugar Company, Chemelil Sugar Company and Nzoia Sugar Company agreed that Chemelil Sugar Company be given that quota.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. South Wanga Division was created by the previous Government six years ago. Wananchi mobilised funds and built the DO's office and residence.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. We are discussing a very important Bill here. However, I am surprised that the Minister for Finance, who is known for frustrating farmers, is not even interested in this debate. He is, in fact, holding another meeting in the far end of this House. Could he be ordered to sit in his place and listen to what we are discussing?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are so many lawyers in this country. Could the Attorney-General tell us how he identified the firm of Kamau Kuria? Is he a partner in that firm? This is a clear case of single sourcing and they were going for politically-correct lawyers.
