    "content": "the regulations and laws and direct people need to involve an authority. In this case, an authority that is fully mandated to review and make laws as per Article 95 and 96 of the Constitution is the bicameral Parliament of Kenya. It is very exciting to realise that the Senate noticed a lacuna that existed in the statutory instruments and pushed this amendment to us. It is quite interesting to note that while approving the Senate amendments, the Committee has given very interesting proposals on the things that need to be re-looked into in future as far as this Statutory Instrument Bill is concerned. However, for now, this is a step in the right direction. As the Committee has proposed, I request and move this House to consider the proposals by the Senate. This is the direction the Senate should be taking; that is, of coming up with very good proposals of Bills that we all can universally agree with without having to debate and fight over who should do what. We all agree that, at times, those subsidiary legislation powers are abused. There is no restitution channel where you can seek a review on amendments and give suggestions. The only people who are mandated to hear public opinion on any legal matter are Members of this House. For that reason, I beg to second."
