    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Indeed, I was consulting in connection with the subsequent Order Paper; what is appearing in the next Order Paper. That is where I most have interest. However, even in this particular case, I know that annulment of regulations can normally happen when there are good reasons and in this case, listening to both the Mover and Seconder, I did not get quite clearly the explanation as to why they are annulling these regulations. One of the key ones was compliance to the Constitution, which is important. However, the second one, which I thought has many questions, is the fact that the regulations were changed. In addition, there was the matter of public participation, although the Hon. Member said there was no adequate public participation, which is a requirement of the Constitution. However, he again said that what came out of the public participation; what the stakeholder proposed are not the regulations that appeared in the Kenya Gazette . They are not the regulations that were published. That is why I am asking questions. At what stage did these regulations change? The Committee must have looked at what happened. It must explain, when they established that there are complaints about the change, did they endeavor to look into this? Who changed the regulations and why, when and how? What action has the Committee taken towards that? These Committee Members must show that they have teeth. Annulling the regulations published is not enough. Someone should be held responsible. Someone must have committed some crime by changing what has been properly put in place as a regulation. That is why I am asking these questions and this is what I expected the Chairman to have explained. That when they established this, how they went into the investigation of this matter before they arrived at this decision and they must have conducted inquiries."
