    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will try to be short and precise. I hope Hon. Kaluma can now contribute since this Motion is very interesting. It concerns many institutions and county governments. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on its consideration of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Regulations, 2020 (Legal Notice No. 69 of 2020) laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, June 25, 2020 and, pursuant to the provisions of Section 180 of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, 2015, approves the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Regulations, 2020, published as Legal Notice No.69 of 22nd April 2020 . Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Members and the public are accustomed to seeing reports on annulment coming from this Committee. This is because Section 15(1) and Standing Order No.210(4)(b) requires the Committee to only table reports on annulment. The ones we approve are communicated directly to the respective regulation-making authorities save for those whose parent Acts like the PFM Act, VAT Act et cetera which specify that the Regulations be approved by the National Assembly or Parliament for that matter. If I can remind the House, early this year, we approved PFM (Covid-19 Fund) Regulations and also VAT Amendments Tax Rate Order 2020 which was amending the VAT from 16 per cent to 14 per cent. Section 180 of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, 2015 allows the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the National Treasury and Planning to make the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Regulations. The Section provides that the Regulations shall not take effect unless approved by Parliament. Unlike other regulations which commence on publication under Section 23 of the Statutory Instruments Act, these Regulations require affirmative resolution from the House before they come into force. With the foregoing, therefore, this is the 3rd Report for approval the Committee has brought to the House for approval in this Fourth Session. Earlier on, I mentioned the PFM and the VAT regulations. The Committee has so far approved 30 out of the 47 instruments submitted to it since the beginning of this Session. Seventeen are pending consideration by the Committee. That can The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
