    "content": "sections 21(2) of the Statutory Instruments Act, 2013, approves the Statutory Instruments (Exemption from Expiry) Regulation 2022, published as Legal Notice No.214 of 2022. Hon. Speaker, these are Regulations that were made prior to 2013, and the Statutory Instruments Act provides that all Regulations that were made either on or before 23rd January 2013 shall automatically expire on 23rd January 2023. There are many Regulations that were made on or before that date that are due to expire on 23rd January 2023. Among them are those listed in the committee Paper that has already been circulated. The Gazette Notice has already been published extending the said Regulations as required by Section 21(2) of the Statutory Instruments Act, 2013. Among those Regulations that are being extended… Members need to listen because it is going to affect them. I do not know why Members are talking. You will apply for mortgage and you will not get if you do not approve these Regulations. The Regulations that are extended are those with regard to the Parliamentary Service Commission, and the Constituency Offices Regulations, 2005, which will affect them if they do not extend the timelines because they will not receive any money. The other Regulations that are due to be extended is the Centre for Parliament Studies and Training Regulations; the Public Finance Management (Parliamentary Mortgage (Staff) Scheme Fund) that are also due to expire; the Public Finance Management (Parliamentary Car Loan (Staff) Scheme) Regulation that was made in 2013; and Parliamentary Service (Offices of Members of Parliament) Regulations that were made in 2013. If we do not extend these Regulations, Members of Parliament who occupy offices outside Parliament precincts will be thrown out. That is why I am telling them to listen very carefully, including Hon. Wandayi, who is my good friend. I can see him now listening keenly. With those remarks – which I believe are straightforward – these are Regulations that have been published to be extended for a period of one year so that they can bring them before the Committee for consideration between now and 23rd January 2023. I would like to request Hon. Komingoi to second."
