    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Very briefly, I agree the Committee. It has made a very interesting observation. As a House, this is something we need to be very careful with. When I listen to the mover, Hon. Mbui, make his remarks, he mentions that there have been cases where regulation-making authorities are making laws instead on focusing on the existing laws. Procedurally, regulations are supposed to operationalise Acts of Parliament; this is the operational stage of the law. That being the case, in a situation where this House has passed a law and the regulatory-making authority adds things outside the Act of Parliament, that should be illegal. That is what the Committee is telling us. When they looked at these regulations, some elements were not supported or did not originate from the main Act. As a House, we cannot support this. Based on this reasoning, and without even addressing the constitutionality and other related issues, this House has a reason to annul these regulations. We should give the relevant Ministry another opportunity to create proper regulations that align with the existing Act of Parliament. I support."
