    "content": "align the provisions of 2013 to today's societal norms. It is true that Kenya is among the top countries with many laws, legislation and policies, but implementation of the same remains ambiguous. It is the duty of Government departmental agencies to audit the regulations and policies they are using so as to align them to their activities. There are many laws in this country that have not been effected because of the words that are used. Up to date, there are regulations that still talk about ministers. Others talk about “departments” which were changed to “authorities”. It is the mandate of Government departmental agencies to make sure that the laws that are being used are up-to-date. They should submit those regulations to parliamentary committees to ensure they are relevant. We are proposing to go through the statutory instruments every year to make sure they are timely and effective. This House does not just make laws that punish people, but it also comes up with laws that improve the economy. It the duty of this House to make sure that the laws that have come to a nullity align to the instruments of today. I support this Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 3 of 2024). The Committee on Implementation has to ensure that all the laws that are passed in this House are up to date so that the society moves to a modern economy. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
