    "content": "of the current Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation, for a job well done in the 12th Parliament because it set a very good basis for what they are doing now. As Hon. TJ has said, we are constantly learning. I have the benefit of learning from my senior, Otiende Amollo, on whether the House has no role in making regulations. My respectful view is that the role of all law-making pursuant to Article 94(5) of the Constitution belongs to this House. All other persons who exercise that role only do so in a delegated format. That does not mean that they become lawmakers. Thank you, Senior Counsel. I will now proceed to my main point. The Committee on Delegated Legislation plays a very important role in checking Government entities, including Cabinet Secretaries and board chairs, all of whom exercise that delegated role of making subsidiary legislation. That role is especially important when they make a bad law. Unless the Committee on Delegated Legislation recommends that the House annul a subsidiary legislation, it would become law."
