    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Deputy Leader of the Majority Party is my good friend. Our Committee is very progressive. When we bring regulations to the House for annulment, we have exhausted all procedures, including recommending to a Cabinet Secretary that he or she amends the regulations. The Deputy Leader of the Majority Party may not be aware that Hon. Duale brought the Peacekeeping Regulations to the Committee for consideration, and we told him that they were bad. He purported to support the Regulations agreed with the Committee and withdrew the Regulations. He amended them and brought them to the House for approval. We advised the Cabinet Secretary for Education that the Regulations were not good and asked him to amend them. He came back with a justification. How do you justify not engaging in public participation or not doing a regulatory impact assessment? We want to support ministries, but they must comply with the law. We are not here to help them to comply with the law. They know what the law says. When you are appointed as a Cabinet Secretary, one has the Attorney-General and State counsels at their disposal. He or she should consult them. We even have legal counsels within Parliament."
