    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to support the Committee’s recommendations on the Senate amendments to the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.2 of 2023). I remember we debated it in this House and we agreed that we have institutions which have been gazetting their instruments without regard to this House. Parliament is the only organ that has the power to make any statutory instrument, which is a delegated power. Therefore, this is good. Many Kenyans and institutions have suffered. When a statutory instrument is published and the House annuls it, there is no way of knowing whether it has been annulled. Some of the statutory instruments are punitive. They continue being applied unknowingly by officers and yet, they are not anchored in any law. So, it is a good amendment Bill and the Senate has further improved it by proposing that the Cabinet Secretary will gazette the annulment so that people are aware that a subsidiary legislation has been annulled. With those few remarks, I support."
