"content": "Allow me to say that the Mwongozo being touted all over… I sat on the Committee on Delegated Legislation for the full term that I served in the other Parliament. Mwongozo was never brought to us as an instrument to consider as the law requires. We took it that Mwongozo was just like any other paper in the beautiful offices and as long as it did not affect us, we would leave it at that. Under the Constitution, any edict of law or anything which appears or demands Kenyans to obey in some way, must have force of law that can only be granted by this or that other House. That is the law. In fact, looking at interpretation of the word “instrument” under the Instruments Act guidelines, it is specifically provided for. If the Mwongozo guidelines has that type of force of law, the first thing they must bring as a substantive policy underlying the Health Laws would be to bring the policy before us for approval then it will become something fundamental on which they can predicate the amendments they are talking about."
