    "content": "This amendment Bill is making it compulsory for all statutory instruments to be made public and circulated. For any institution that does not follow the law, what they publish is annulled. I want to thank the wisdom of the Committee on Delegated Legislation. This is meant to rein in all institutions that effect illegal laws all the time. A case in point is the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). The other day we annulled the Universities Regulations. Too many regulations are being implemented in this country and yet, they lack the full force of law. This is because before they are implemented, they are supposed to go to the Committee on Delegated Legislation, the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee and the House to ratify. So, the fact that they have been implementing those regulations is illegal and officers who do this should be surcharged. I want to ask the Committee on Delegated Legislation during the Committee of the whole House, to insert that institutions which go ahead and implement regulations which contravene the laid down procedures should be surcharged, punished and the regulations become null and void. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support this very important amendment. Thank you."
