    "content": "on Delegated Legislation of the National Assembly, after considering the amendments that were made by the Senate on this Bill, is in total agreement and the Committee recommends that the Bill may be passed as amended by the Senate. One of the amendments that the Senate brought in was that if the Committee discovers in any way that a regulatory-making body has already published regulations or any other statutory instrument which have not been brought before Parliament, then the Committee, through a resolution, may require the Cabinet Secretary to publish an annulment of those regulations within seven days and submit the published notice to Parliament. Initially, the National Assembly had thought that the Clerk ought to make a gazette notice, but the powers to publish regulations can only be done by the Cabinet Secretary. Therefore, on that one, the Committee recommends the approval of the Senate amendment. There was also a deletion of Clause 3 by the Senate. The Committee on Delegated Legislation agreed to it because it was also repetitive of Clause 2. The Senate proposes an amendment to Clause 5 which sought to amend Section 19 of the Act. The Senate proposes that where Parliament has adopted a report or a resolution that a statutory instrument be annulled, the instrument shall stand annulled, and the Clerk of the relevant House shall publish in the website and convey the resolution of the House to the statutory-making authority. Initially, the only report that was supposed to be made by the Clerk was the report of adoption. The statutory instrument was quiet on annulment. The public might have suffered before without knowing whether a certain statutory instrument that has been annulled by Parliament is in force or not. It is, therefore, very good for the public to know all the statutory instruments that have been annulled by Parliament. Similarly, the Senate amended Clause 6 by deleting it, and I think it also touched on the same issue. Finally, under Clause 7, the National Assembly had recommended a fine not exceeding Ksh500 as a penalty."
