"content": "these sacks on their backs will be affected and the prices will be affected in the way that the business is carried out. So, Cabinet Secretaries and CECMs, please, make sure that you also get to know what is the impact of these regulations when you are putting them out there. When we pass the law and donate power to you, we expect that you will use those powers responsibly. You should not abuse those powers to make regulations that are ridiculous, that defeat business that make the people of Kenya suffer instead of assisting them to make these laws functional. So, these requirements that if a regulations making authority does not work or does not bring those regulations within 12 months and they are not provided for within the main Act; that anybody can now come in and bring regulations any person who is affected by those regulations, I think it is a brilliant thing. If it has been specified that as a Cabinet Secretary or a CECM, you are supposed to make these regulations within six months but you do not make them; then you are personally liable to a fine of Kshs500,000. It is going to wake up these people. Executive authority is not supposed to be utilised at the wishes or at the compromise of the holder of that office. Executive authority is merely given as donated power to make regulations. It does not replace the law-making process, the legislative process that the Constitution has created. So, in a short Statement, we have decided to take this power back so that we control it and we tell those Ministers and those regulation-making bodies to make sure that they abide by the requirements of timelines. We do not want to be making laws here that go and hang outside there and nothing happens to you, and there is no consequence. You are being paid by the people, you are given security, you are given mileage. You are not just signing things to make the system work. I think this is a brilliant amendment to the Statutory Instruments Act. I support it and I beg colleagues to support it too. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."

"content": "Asante, Mhe. Spika, kwa kunipa fursa hii ili niweze kuchangia marekebisho ya Mswada wa Sheria Endelezi yaani, Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill, 2024. Sheria hii inapania kuadhibu wale ambao wamepewa jukumu la kutunga sheria hizi endelezi, iwapo watakosa kuzitunga sheria hizo kwa muda ule ambao umewekwa na sheria ama muda wa miezi 12 baada ya sheria hiyo kupitishwa na Bunge, na kuwekwa sahihi na Rais, ili kutumika katika nchi yetu. Kwa sasa, kuna sheria nyingi ambazo zilipitishwa na Bunge ambazo mpaka sasa hazijaweza kutumika kikamilifu, kwa sababu sheria endelezi ambazo zilipaswa kutungwa hazijatungwa. Utungaji wa kanuni hizi endelezi, mara nyingi huwa zinachukua muda kwa sababu ni jambo ambalo lazima zipitie zile taratibu zote za kutunga sheria ambazo Bunge linapitia wakati zinatungwa. Kwa mfano, lazima zipelekwe katika uhusishaji wa umma au public participation wakati sheria hizi zinatengenezwa. Vile vile, lazima iangaliwe"

"content": "kwamba hazikiuki Katiba na hazikiuki ile sheria kuu ambayo imempa nafasi Waziri ama jopo linalotunga sheria hizo, kuweza kuhakikisha kwamba wametunga sheria hiyo na yale mambo ambayo yanatakikana kabla ya sheria hii kupitishwa, yote yamewekwa katika sheria. Kwa hivyo, lazima yapitiwe ndio sheria hizi ziweze kutumika. Vile vile, sisi kama Bunge, tuna muda maalum ambao lazima tuutumie ili tuweze kupitisha sheria hiyo. Ikiwa hatukuweza kupitisha kwa muda ule, sheria ile inaweza kutumika bila kupitishwa na Bunge. Kwa hivyo, suala la kuwapa muda ama kutoa vigezo vikali ambavyo lazima Waziri afanye, na iwapo hatafanya, ataadhibiwa ni jambo ambalo linatilia nguvu uwezo wa Bunge hili kuweza kudhibiti ile fursa ambayo Waziri, ama jopo limepewa kutunga sheria ambayo ingeweza kutungwa na Bunge. Jambo ambalo nimeona hapa, ya kwamba hii faini ambayo imetolewa ya Shilingi laki tano, ni kidogo sana kwa sababu, jukumu ambalo Waziri ama jopo lile limepewa ni kubwa. Kwa hivyo, lazima iambatane na ongezeko la faini hiyo. Kwa hivyo, lazima faini hiyo isiwe chini ya Shilingi millioni mbili. Tukiangalia yale mambo ambayo yamezungumziwa katika sheria hii, mengine ni mazito sana. Ilitakikana kutungwe, kupelekwe kanuni bungeni ya kuweza kuendeleza sheria hizi. Iwapo haikuendelezwa kwa mfano, serikali imeweza kupoteza fedha ambazo zingechukua kutokana na sheria hii. Kwa hivyo, kupotea kwa nafasi hizo inafaa kuambatane na faini ya juu ambayo waziri ama yule mtu anayehusika ataweza kutozwa ili aweze kupeleka sheria katika Bunge. Vile vile, kupeana nafasi kwa sababu sheria zinazoletwa Bungeni zinapitia mikononi mwa Waziri. Sheria ambazo zimetungwa na Bunge na wakatoa fursa kwa Waziri kutengeneza sheria endelezi ili kuendeleza Mswada wa sheria. Mara nyingi hawana hamu ya kupitisha sheria zile kwa sababu mara nyingi zitakwaza maswala fulani. Kwa hivyo, nafasi inayotolewa hapa kwa yule ambaye ameweza kutunga sheria ile ama yule ambaye amedhamini sheria ile kuweza kuleta sheria endelezi, ni fursa nzuri kwa vile inawapa nafasi wale ambao wanaona kwamba interests zao ama mambo yao yakiendelezwa na sheria hii, ili yaweze kuendelezwa bila kupoteza wakati. Mpaka sasa, swala la sheria endelezi zinazokwisha baada ya miaka kumi, halijaweza kuzingatiwa na mashirka mengi. Kwa mfano wiki iliyopita katika kamati ya Sheria Endelezi, maarufu, Committee on Delegated Legislation, tulikuwa tunjadili mapendekezo ambayo yameletwa na shirika la National Construction Authority (NCA) ambao walikuwa wanataka kubadilisha sheria ambazo kanuni endelezi ambazo zilikuwa zinatumika na kuleta mpya ijapokuwa zilikuwa zimekwisha mwaka wa 2023. Bado walikuwa wanataka kuzirekebisha zile ambazo zilikuwa zimeisha mwaka 2013. Miaka kumi baadaye, swala lingine ni kuwa wakati tulipoingia katika Bunge hili, zililetwa karibu kanuni 1,743 ambazo zilikuwa zimekwisha muda wa kuhudumu wa miaka kumi. Tulikataa kuzipitisha kwa sababu, sheria zile zilikuwa zinahusu wizara tofauti. Lakini wakati notisi ilipotolewa na ofisi ya mkuu wa sheria ya kwamba aliweza kuziongezea muda. Ilikuwa ni kinyume na sheria kwa sababu kila sheria ilikuwa chini ya wizara fulani."

"content": "Kwa hivyo, ilikuwa ni wizara husika waweze kuleta marekebisho haya ili waongezewe muda ndiyo waweze kuongezea sheria hizo muda. Ukiangalia katika kaunti zetu, zile sheria za ujenzi wa nyumba, nyingi zao ni zile ambazo zilikuwa zinatumika wakati kulikuwa na manispaa na mabaraza za miji. Hawajaweza kutunga kanuni mpya za kuweza kusimamia mambo ya ujenzi. Ukiangalia, majumba mengi yamejengwa upya katika miji mikuu, hata affordable housing ama zinazojengwa na serikali, lazima zipitie zile sheria za nyumba za ujenzi katika kaunti zetu. Ipo haja na ninafikiri, hili nitalizungumzia katika kamati yetu, kuangalia sheria zote za ujenzi katika kaunti zetu kama zimeweza kuambatana na sheria ambazo ziko. Je, zimeweza kuhudumu katika ule muhula wa miaka kumi ambao umewekwa na sheria ama la? Mhe. Spika, naona sehemu nyingi katika kaunti ya Mombasa, majumba yanajengwa mapya lakini ukiangalia huduma za maji, ni zile za zamani. Ukiangalia umeme ni ule ambao ni wa zamani. Tukiangalia maswala ya maji machafu, hukuna miradi ambayo yamepangwa kufanywa ili kuchukua hizi nyumba mpya ambazo zinajengwa. Kwa hivyo, utapata kwamba nyumba nyingi zinamwaga maji machafu baharini ambako zinadhuru viumbe ambavyo viko kule. Nyumba nyingi, hazina nafasi nzuri ya kuweza kupata vijana ama watoto kucheza na sehemu nyingine za kujiburudisha. Kwa hivyo, sheria hii itasaidia pakubwa kudhibiti ile nguvu za Bunge katika kutengeneza sheria na kanuni za kuhudumu sheria hizi. Asante sana Mhe, Spika kwa kunipa fursa hii."

"content": "I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. For giving me an opportunity to support the amendment that we have before us. It is a great amendment to the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill, 2024. I support this because of certain challenges that we have had with implementing authorities. Mr. Speaker, Sir, sometimes when we discuss with the executive in our committees, issues to do with lack of regulations often come up. It is through regulations that we have these Acts of Parliament become operational. I support this from the onset because this amendment spells out timelines within which these regulations must be prepared by the executive, either at the county or national government. I also want to support due to the fact that we do not grow when things are easy. I remember this being a result of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report. It did not come easy. I remember there were serious challenges in this country at that time. I am a member of the other side of the coalition that contributed a lot to the NADCO Report. That because of the challenge we had then as Azimio Coalition, some of which we continue to have, the two sides of the divide got the courage to sit together and form teams. One team was led by the Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka that led our team and the other from the other side of the Kenya-Kwanza Coalition. The two principals were able to come together. They had the courage to decide that they were going to make a stop to the squabbles that we had then and were able to bring different members from their teams to sit together that resulted into the NADCO"
