    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to also make my contribution to this very important Bill, The Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.10 of 2024). Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Bill is timely and long overdue. This is because it seeks to define in law that those who make regulations have up to 12 months to enact them when an Act of Parliament is passed. Statutory instruments are very important. They are the regulations which Ministries, the Executive or even Judiciary come up with to implement the provisions of the Act of Parliament that we pass. We know that we cannot put everything in an Act of Parliament. That is why, as a standard, we always create room for making regulations. With those regulations, the respective Government ministries or departments can come up with specific regulations"
