    "content": "As we all know, once a regulation is consumed in public as law, it does not matter whether Parliament approved it or not. There has been a trend in Kenya where the Executive takes advantage of its delegated mandate and abuses it by not bringing most of the statutory instruments to this House for proper legislation. That way, it costs most of Kenyans in their day-to-day activities. As Hon. Deputy Speaker has put it very well, this happens especially in areas of interest like cigarettes and consumable goods. Private interest mars regulations within corporations and ministries. This ends up affecting Kenyans who are represented by Members of Parliament in their own way. We are supposed to protect Kenyans from most of these regulations that are being ‘enacted’ by the Executive. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
