"content": "Unfortunately, in making these regulations, the regulatory-making authorities often go beyond the mandate that is allowed to them. The Committee on Delegated Legislation is guided by the contents of the Statutory Instruments Act. Whenever any regulation is presented to the Committee, we must check against the Constitution, the Statutory Instruments Act and the parent Act upon which the regulations are made to ensure conformity. So, the problems we faced with the previous regulations were also very evident in these ones. First and foremost, there was the issue of time. The Statutory Instruments Act indicates, under Section 11(1) on laying of statutory instruments before Parliament, that every Cabinet Secretary responsible for a regulatory-making authority shall, within seven sitting days after the publication of the statutory instrument, ensure that a copy of the statutory instrument is transmitted to the responsible Clerk for tabling before the relevant House of Parliament."
