    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The import of this Bill is to resuscitate all the regulations that expired through the effluxion of time. It is bad practice for regulations to expire through effluxion of time, but not pursuant to events. The parent Acts or legislations that created them are still in existence. They have not been reviewed. Why should they lapse on account of passage of time? That is not a good law. Laws must follow events. Something must happen for them to expire. If the parent Act is reviewed, they can also be reviewed. If the parent Act has not been amended, why should the regulations lapse because of the passage of time? Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Committee examined these proposed amendments as contained in the Bill. We conducted public participation. The Attorney-General and the Kenya Law Reform Commission (KLRC) appeared before the Committee. We received very important and significant contributions from them. As a consequence, we have proposed to move certain amendments to clean the Bill. The main objective of the Bill is to regularise the regulations that have lapsed. Secondly, it will ensure that when a regulatory-making authority fails to submit regulations to the National Assembly within seven days, they will be deemed to be a nullity. Therefore, it is expected to gazette that they have become a nullity. The National Assembly will also gazette or publish in its website that they are a nullity because they have not been brought to the House.
