    "content": "Navakholo, ODM): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Committee on Delegated Legislation on annulment of these regulations. I want to recall that in the last Parliament, we made a very difficult decision to approve regulations for the sugar industry. The regulations were partially acceptable in the name of coming back to the House for us to effectively give the sugar industry proper regulations. However, to-date, we have neither given the sugar industry a proper Act nor regulations. I, therefore, want to commend the Committee for taking up this matter very strongly so that we annul these regulations, which do not support the development of the coffee sector, so that we all have a conversation on this matter with a view to come up with very good regulations for the coffee industry in Kenya. Moreover, we are dealing regulations which purport to be superior to its mother Act itself, which is in itself a very serious misnomer that should not be allowed. This is similar to a situation where a Cabinet Secretary passes his own regulations without bringing them to the House. Therefore, in this regard, I support the Committee. In future, this country must rely on laws made by this House. I support. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
