"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I happen to sit in the Committee on Delegated Legislation. We consider regulations which are to operationalize the parent Acts and Bills that emanate from both Houses of Parliament. I would not want to say that all regulations are bad from what my learned colleague is talking about. He seems to have a problem with regulations. As a Member of the Delegated Legislation Committee, I want to state categorically that not all regulations are bad. All we need to check is whether they are harmful. By the time you draft regulations, there is public participation from all the stakeholders to iron out the interests of the executive and farmers in this case. The last regulations we considered were the best example of regulations the Ministry had done were from the coffee sector. I remember him attending the hearing of the consideration of the regulations. He came in and made contributions. As a Committee, we were satisfied that those regulations came out to help the farmer to regulate the industry, so that they are not exploited. For instance, there are regulations that design the packaging of some of our produce."
