"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, if for whatever reason it happens that we passed a legislation and it was not specified the time period within which those regulations are supposed to have been made, the end period within which an officer who is supposed to make those regulations--- The time that they have, including taking them through the Parliament, is 12 months. That is now provided for in law. As it was, I have explained previously that there was nothing provided. Thirdly, if that regulatory making authority fails to make a statutory instrument within the specified time, any person may petition Parliament, and where possible, together with a draft of a statutory instrument for consideration. That is how bold we have become. We are telling the Executive that it is not a must that they do it. If they do not bring regulations within the time period within which they are supposed to bring before the Houses of Parliament, any Kenyan interested in that particular sector can draft regulations and bring them to this House and we will pass them. Where there is unjustified delay by the Executive and there are Kenyans interested in that particular sector who feel that you are holding them back because of the regulations, we need to pass such regulations. Fourthly, if a person without reasonable cause, fails to make statutory instruments within the specified timelines, they commit an offence. I had spoken about this. Despite the fact that Members of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) agreed on a fine of Kshs500,000, I wish to urge this House to suggest a more resounding fine that will make people think twice before ignoring sanctions by Parliament. The figure of Kshs500,000 is what is provided for. Madam Temporary Speaker, lastly, a person is liable for an offence under sub section (4) shall be liable for a fine and public funds shall not be used to pay for such a fine. Many times, when we sanction public officers, they revert to public coffers to pay those fines. Therefore, I beg to move and request the Senate Minority Leader, whom we have co-sponsored with this particular Bill, to second. I thank you."

"content": " Asante, Bi. Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa nafasi hii. Kwanza, naunga mkono yote ambayo ndugu yangu ambaye ni Kiongozi wa Wengi amesema kuhusu Mswada Huu. Hii ni sheria ambayo itatupa nafasi ya kufungua ukurusa mwingine ili watu wasaidike wakati kuna janga. Hii ni mojawapo ya Miswada ambayo si ya kawaida lakini inaweza kutupatia mamlaka. Wahenga walisema kuwa fimbo ya karibu ndio huua nyoka. Hii inamaanisha kuwa kitu ulichonacho ndicho hukusaidia wakati una shida fulani. Sisi tulikuwa katika shida kubwa na ilikuwa lazima tuepukane na shida hiyo. Kwa hivyo, ni lazima tuwe na sheria ambayo itatusaidia kutoka katika janga hilo. Ndio sababu nasema kuwa fimbo uliyonayo mkononi ndio itakusaidia kuua nyoka. Isije ikawa kama dau linalokusaidia kuvuka mto kisha baadaye unaliita gogo."

"content": "Huu ulikuwa mojawapo ya misemo iliyotumika katika NADCO. Watu walikuja pamoja na kupendekeza sheria hiyo. Tukiwa katika shida ama janga lolote la kisiasa, ni lazima watu wakae ili tupate suluhisho. Hii ni mojawapo ya sheria ambazo zilipendekezwa. Naunga mkono Mswada huu kwa sababu unaweza kupeana uhai kwa jopo ili sheria ambayo inaweza kutumika wakati wa dharura itengenezwe. Majukumu kama hayo ni muhimu sana. Ikiwa watu wanaopatikana katika hali hiyo wanaweza kutafakari na kutoa majukumu kabla ya janga kutokea, hiyo itakuwa njia nzuri. Sheria endelevu kama hii ambayo inapendekezwa inafaa kuwa. Ikiwa itaweza kutekelezwa, basi, kutakuwa na adhabu ikiwa mtu hatafanya hivyo. Mtu ataweza kupelekwa kortini au kuchukuliwa hatua na kutakiwa kulipa faini ya shilingi laki tano. Bi. Spika wa Muda, kwa kumalizia, sheria hii ina umuhimu na vile vile ni nzuri kwa sababu itatusaidia wakati wowote. Kwa hivyo, naunga mkono sheria hii endelevu kwa sababu nilizotaja hapo awali. Asante."

I would have expected that we should have dispensed off this Bill so that we allow Members to prosecute other Bills. It is good to see you. The last time I saw you, we were condoling with the Dagoretti North MP, Hon. Beatrice Elachi. It is good that as MPs, we stand with each other especially when we have challenges."
