    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Of course, I support what the Mover has just said in terms of removing reasonable period and making it certain. That is, clarifying that it should be one month because reasonable period could also be six months. The other one that the Cabinet Secretary should publish in the KenyaGazette all approved applications is very good. People should not hide things. We do not want people to issue authorization without letting Kenyans know. With regard to the other one of within 180 days of coming into force of this Act, it is important that it takes time to come up with regulation. As you know, all regulations emanate with the Cabinet Secretary and I sympathize with what you are saying. It is just unfortunate that we have the Constitution requiring that all regulations which the Cabinet Secretary makes must be brought to this House. So, if he makes shoddy regulations within one month, we will strike them down here. So, it is important that we give them reasonable time. It is six months to come up with regulations, consult stakeholders, and have consultations back and forth. It takes time. So, six months in my view, would be reasonable."
