    "content": "I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. For giving me an opportunity to support the amendment that we have before us. It is a great amendment to the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill, 2024. I support this because of certain challenges that we have had with implementing authorities. Mr. Speaker, Sir, sometimes when we discuss with the executive in our committees, issues to do with lack of regulations often come up. It is through regulations that we have these Acts of Parliament become operational. I support this from the onset because this amendment spells out timelines within which these regulations must be prepared by the executive, either at the county or national government. I also want to support due to the fact that we do not grow when things are easy. I remember this being a result of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report. It did not come easy. I remember there were serious challenges in this country at that time. I am a member of the other side of the coalition that contributed a lot to the NADCO Report. That because of the challenge we had then as Azimio Coalition, some of which we continue to have, the two sides of the divide got the courage to sit together and form teams. One team was led by the Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka that led our team and the other from the other side of the Kenya-Kwanza Coalition. The two principals were able to come together. They had the courage to decide that they were going to make a stop to the squabbles that we had then and were able to bring different members from their teams to sit together that resulted into the NADCO"
