    "content": "The Committee has received a total of 45 statutory instruments since its establishment on 4th November 2022. It has considered and concluded 34 statutory instruments, of which 25 have been approved pursuant to Standing Order No. 210 (4)(a). Reports on 11 statutory instruments have been tabled in the House. The House has approved nine reports on the statutory instruments, and three reports are awaiting approval by the House. There are, however, six pending statutory instruments before the Committee for its consideration. The Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry submitted the Climate Change (Public Participation and Access to Climate Change Information) Regulations, 2023, on 6th April 2023, pursuant to Section 11 of the Statutory Instruments Act, No.23 of 2013. However, after engagement and analysis of those regulations, the Committee requested the Ministry to withdraw those Regulations because they were inappropriately before the Committee. On 26th June 2023, the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry withdrew the Regulations they had submitted so that they could re-submit them to follow the relevant procedures as contained in the Climate Change or Environment Act under Section 36. A detailed list of the statutory instruments the Committee has considered is attached for the House to note. Hon. Speaker, I thank you personally, your office and that of the Clerk for making it possible and facilitating the Committee to consider most of those regulations on a timeous basis. I also thank the Members of this House for being very co-operative and facilitating the work of the Committee. When we brought our reports, they were approved without any abstention. I also thank the Members of my own Committee for the hard work that they put in to ensure that they dispense with most of the statutory instruments that were referred to the Committee. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
