    "content": "will be no public participation, thus implementers will not even know the impact of what they are doing. The other mistake that this Ministry is making is that it has proposed legislation to the Committee to identify constituencies that are prone to higher rainfall, so that they can get an inordinate amount of money. I wonder whether some of these Government officials know what goes on in the world on issues of global warming. Just the other day, Kenya was host to the African Climate Summit. Is it possible that Government officials do not understand that changes in climate conditions are happening? Do they understand that areas that were prone to drought now have floods and places that had floods now have drought? It is unfortunate that they do not understand what is happening. The Statutory Instruments Act clearly states that whenever a committee deals with any legislation, it should look at the statutory instrument against the parent Act. This letter would be drawn from the content of the Kenya Roads Board Act. It is totally inconsistent with Section 6 of that Act. It is unfortunate that they did not cross-check with the Act. The Speaker has always told us not to lament in this House. Therefore, I agree with the Committee that we immediately nullify this kind of business. Additionally, we should call upon any Government officer to be careful not to make any laws outside this House. I submit, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
