    "content": "approved the expected regulations to guide how to go about it. This proposed Bill will go a long way to provide a framework to ensure that things run correctly. The other point is that most county governments are also investing. You go to a place like Kitui County where we have KICOTEC production plants. Where a county invests, it will also put in place regulations to guide the process of investment so that they get value for money. They will get good returns on their investment. This is delegated legislation and I see an opportunity where members of county executives in charge of trade and finance should forward to the county assemblies regulations which will provide the required legal framework to make sure that things are done in the right way. As I conclude, at the National Assembly level, we only get to interact with those regulations when they have been proposed for annulment. So many regulations only go through the Committee on Delegated Legislation and their processing ends there. If you have an interest in any, you could go and pick them to read. They never reach the House. I would encourage a situation where even those regulations which are being approved by the Committee on Delegated Legislation are brought to the House, so that the membership of the House can get to know what is being proposed and to align the proposals with the main Acts. I want to appeal to all my colleagues that we fast-track this Senate Bill to become an Act of Parliament, so that county assemblies can engage in serious review of all regulations that have been prepared by different county assemblies. That will assist this country even as we assist county governments. With those many remarks, I support. Hon. Speaker, thank you very much."
