    "content": "First, Article 94(6) of the Constitution provides that: “An Act of Parliament, or legislation of a county, that confers on any State organ, State officer or person the authority to make provision having the force of law in Kenya, as contemplated in Clause (5), shall expressively specify the purpose and objective for which that authority is conferred, the limits of the authority, the nature and scope of the law that may be made, and the principles and standards applicable to the law made under the authority.” That is Article 94(6). Clause 13 of this Bill, which is before the House, confers upon the Attorney General the power to make regulations to implement this Bill. It fails to expressively specify the purpose and the objective for which that authority is conferred to the Attorney General. The Bill fails to specify the limit of the authority. The nature and the scope of the regulations that may be made by the Attorney General. It also fails to state or to set the statutory principles and the standards that are applicable to the law made under the authority. I draw your attention to this fact which may render this Bill as unconstitutional as it may offend Article 94(6) of the Constitution."
