    "content": "Some are in school while others are still unemployed even after going through education. This situation is so serious that it is important that as a country, a Committee and a House, we rise to the occasion and push for the compensation. The cordial relationship between the Kenyan Government and that of the United States of America (USA) should be an avenue through which we can receive the goodwill necessary for the support. It is unfortunate that yesterday, I read in the news that the USA Government is saying that they have already done the compensation. You therefore wonder, who are these people who are being compensated yet all the 230 victims have not been compensated? I support the Statement by my Chairperson and hope that we are going to succeed as a Committee. Madam Temporary Speaker, finally, on the issue of Committee on Delegated Legislation, I was the Chairperson of that Committee in the National Assembly. The Challenge we have is that the Statutory Instruments Act should be amended so that, it makes it mandatory that all instruments come to Parliament and not National Assembly. This is so that the statutory making body is able to forward those regulations to the National Assembly and at the same time to this House. This is so that then there is approval by the two Houses. It is important. The delegation of making laws by the National Assembly, the Senate and Parliament to either a Ministry or a Corporation, is a delegated power. Otherwise, the institution that has the power to make laws is both the National Assembly and this House. I agree with the Chairperson of Committee on Delegated Legislation that, there is need to relook at all this so that then, this House will have a role to play in approving regulations, which have the full force of the law. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support."
