    "content": " Thank you very much for giving me a chance to say something about these amendments: I start by congratulating Hon. Chekonga and the Committee. They have been very forthright and dedicated to serving this House and our country Kenya. I support the current amendments because as you know regulations form part of the laws of this country in one way or the other. It is important that we do not vest unlimited powers in to the cabinet secretaries. Therefore, it is important that all the regulations that we make, especially those effecting all the Acts of Parliament, be subject to scrutiny by this House. It is important that before any regulations take effect, this House scrutinizes them and where possible also ventilates on them. This will go a long way to curb even scenarios that you would see especially in regulations that would be injurious to our country, and especially those which will be aimed at doing underhand deals in the agencies that have been referred to. I also want to thank Hon. Chepkonga because this Committee has been very vibrant in this session. We have seen a lot of contribution to law making through the Committee on Delegated Legislation and I loud them, keep up."
