    "content": "on the laws that are supposed to be made by this House. We must protect the functions of Parliament under Article 94 of the Constitution. It is important that Parliament, which is the only body that makes law, be given that responsibility. Personally, I cannot see any penalty for a person who publishes regulations without having a nod or approval of Parliament. They just walk scot-free after Parliament declares the regulation null and void. The banking regulations by the Governor of CBK were the worst: that you cannot withdraw unless you start… I totally agree that Parliament is the only body that is supposed to… It is important for us to make laws that do not demean existing laws. In as much as the Executive Arm of Government, through a Cabinet Secretary, would want to make a law… I remember recently we were making some laws and the Cabinet Secretary said they were to bring some regulations and so we should wait. The Cabinet Secretary said that once we pass the law, it will not take effect until the regulations are brought. An Act of Parliament never came into force because somebody put a cap that it cannot be operationalised until a regulation was brought. So, I am in total agreement with you. It is good that we learn from the best. For instance, from the contribution you made. In fact, I am just repeating what you said. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
