    "content": "But, Hon. Kiarie raised a fundamental issue that this House passed a law in 2015, which law provides for the mechanisms of how to regulate and register people who trade in scrap metal. I am acutely aware of the various provisions in the Constitution. I have not come across one where it is possible to impose a moratorium on the implementation of an Act of Parliament, save through legal court judicial processes. Maybe you could tell the Ministry to come up with the regulations. They cannot also come up with regulations, being subsidiary legislation, without also involving the House and the public. I think Hon. Kiarie is actually jolting the Ministry into action. One, they must remember that even if they are working on regulations, they must involve stakeholders. Two, they must be ready to involve this House. It is not good for them to go that route of moratoriums. It is stray to the Constitution or the constitutional order of this country."
