    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 28 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new sub-clauses immediately after sub-clause (2) – (3) In making regulations under subsection (1), the Cabinet Secretary shall make reference to the International Code of Breast milk Substitutes (1981), subsequent World Health Assembly resolutions or any other stated public policy. (4) Regulations made under this section shall not come into operation upon publication but shall be laid before the National Assembly and the provisions of sub-sections (5) and (6) shall apply to those regulations. (5) If a resolution is passed by the National Assembly within twenty days on which it next sits after the regulation is laid before it that the regulation be annulled or amended in a specific manner, the regulation shall thenceforth be void or amended as resolved by the Assembly. (6) If no resolution is made by the National Assembly Within expiry of twenty one days from the date which the Assembly next sits from the date on which the regulation is laid under subsection (3), the regulation shall come into operation in the form laid before the Assembly under that subsection. This amendment is meant to make the Cabinet Secretary to draft regulations. The proposed regulations will be brought to Parliament for approval before they are effected or implemented. As much as the Minister would wish to withdraw her amendment at this point, these are amendments that we agreed upon together. We indicated that it would be fair for Parliament to countercheck and oversee that the Cabinet Secretary does not become rogue and arm-twist manufacturers and anyone else in the industry from doing what they do. Parliament will exercise its watchdog role and ensure that the regulations are implemented."
