    "content": " Yes, because I have a similar amendment. Allow me to, first, support the Deputy Speaker, who also chairs the Procedure and House Rules Committee. I agree there is need to gazette and place this House’s resolution on annulled regulations in the parliamentary website for the simple reason that laws that have been annulled and have no force of law continue to be enforced with great consequences to Kenyans. This is a negative procedure. I agree with the Member who spoke before me that this negative procedure is very limiting to the extent that it does not allow us to exercise the full extent of our legislative powers. There should be a positive and more purposive procedure that allows Members to have a say on even those that have not been annulled so that Members become seized of such matters. Remember the Committee on Delegated Legislation exercises a secondary delegated power of the main House. So, I urge the Chairman that we relook at the provisions, particularly Section 15, even if not in this sitting, on all subsidiary legislations that come to the House. I support."
