    "content": "15A. The Principal Act is amended in section 180 by renumbering the existing provision as subsection (1) and adding the following new subsection- (2) The regulations, subsidiary legislation, or other instrument prescribed under this Act and which has the force of law shall be subject to the provisions of The Statutory Instruments Act, No.23 of 2013. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, for the information of the House, what I am just proposing here is that the regulations which are made under this Act should be brought to the House for approval. Again, this is a new trend under the new Constitution. All the legislative power is vested in the House; sometimes we have donated some of our powers, and sometimes they have been abused. I think the House must now protect its legislative power. So, that is under the Statutory Instruments Act, No.23 of 2013. Again, this is also very good because under the Statutory Instruments Act (No.23 of 2013) it is very clear that if the House for one reason or another delays approval, then after, I think, one month, the instruments have the force of law. So, really it is a very good process."
