    "content": "is that there is a clear effort to circumvent that provision so that the occasion of deciding by the court may not arise because there may be no law passed by Parliament, but the occasion of determination by the Speaker might not arise because it may not come to you. It is important for us to look at Article 95 critically. It is true that nothing should assume the force of law except as passed by this House. But additionally, this House is also required under that Article to deliberate and resolve issues of interest to Kenyans. This has become an issue of interest to Kenyans. This morning, I will report to you that the sitting chaired by the Deputy Speaker had the Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation presented two sets of regulations for annulment; one which actually emanated from this same departmental committee under Section 70. I see that trend continuing in this report. It is a trend that must be rejected, not just by you saying that you think they should consult. It is within your powers and jurisdiction, by way of communication, to pronounce yourself and say whatever is contained in that document that is purported to be implemented is void ab initio, and if anyone wants to remedy it, they know how to restart it. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
