    "content": "We considered a number of parameters with regard to the Regulations. They were published on 14th April 2023 and they comply with the Statutory Instruments Act that requires the Regulations to be forwarded to the National Assembly within seven days of its publication. The second thing that we considered is the adequacy and sufficiency of public participation, and consultation by the regulatory making authority so that they comply with Articles 10 and 118 of the Constitution. Indeed, they complied and supplied the necessary supporting documents to enable us recommend to this House that these Regulations be approved. The third thing that we considered was that the regulation authority was expected to comply and ensure that all the suppliers of digital businesses in the market are sufficiently and adequately consulted when levying this particular tax on the suppliers. We found that all the parameters that are required under the Statutory Instruments Act were complied with. It is a very short Regulation which contains about five paragraphs. I, therefore, beg to move and request Hon. Robert Gichimu, the Vice-Chair of the Committee on Delegated Legislation to second this Motion. I, thank you very much, Hon. Speaker."
