    "content": "The consideration of the different Regulations will now await the establishment of the Committee on Delegated Legislation. It should consider them within 28 sitting days thereafter. Hon. Members, on a similar note, by way of a letter dated 9th September 2022, the Hon. Attorney-General brought to the attention of all State Departments and Agencies the provisions of Section 21 of the Statutory Instruments Act, 2013. The effect of this provision is that - 1. There is a general revocation of Statutory Instruments 10 years after their making, unless they are repealed or a regulation is made exempting them from expiry. Subject to this provision, all statutory legislations enacted prior to the commencement of the Act stand to be revoked and are thus null and void as from 25th January 2023. 2. An extension of the Statutory Instrument may be made for 12 months, subject to the consultation between the respective Cabinet Secretary (CS) and relevant parliamentary committee. During the passage of the Finance Act, 2022 in June this year, this House extended the period of automatic revocation of regulations made under the laws relating to tax matters. This includes regulations made under the following Statutes: 1. The Income Tax Act, Cap 470; 2. The Stamp Duty Act, Cap 480; 3. The Value Added Tax, No. 35 of 2013; 4. The Tax Appeals Tribunal Act, No. 40 of 2013; 5. The Excise Duty Act, No. 23 of 2015; and 6. The Tax Procedures Act, No. 29 of 2015. Hon. Members, it is therefore expected that the State Departments and Agencies will approach the Committee, upon its establishment, to consider whether similar treatment may be accorded to the rest of the impugned regulations to avoid any form of legislative crisis in the country. This means that the in-tray of the Committee on Delegated Legislation is already full even before its establishment. The House is now accordingly informed and guided. Hon. Duale, does that solve your issue?"
