    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to second Hon. Kamket on the Regulations. I support his position and the Committee’s that the Rules be annulled on the basis that the statutory timelines were not met. This Parliament gives the Executive and the members of the Executive ample time to present any Regulations, so that they can be looked at in this House before they take effect. When the Executive fails to do that, it is important that Parliament puts its foot down, and does the right thing by ensuring that the statutory timelines are followed to the letter. Secondly, public participation under Article 10 and 118 of the Constitution was not undertaken. There is no evidence that there was public participation in making these Regulations on scrap metal dealings. In the absence of proper public participation by dealers and other stakeholders, it is right for this House to say that the law must be followed by the Executive and whoever has the role to make Regulations in this country.
