    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, much as I agree with the amendment proposed by the Chair of the Departmental Committee, I would have been happier if some of these proposals came out in the regulations. Looking at some of them, like the proposal that says “mobilize and transparently manage public and other financials”; with all due respect to the Committee, a lot of what has been proposed here ought to be a regulation, because in a sense, they cover operational issues – the essence of subsidiary legislation. The primary legislation should normally deal with issues of policy, while subsidiary legislation deals with issues to do with implementation and operationalisation. A lot of this, in my humble view, concern operationalising the Act, which makes the law unnecessarily voluminous, yet some of the issues would be dealt with well if we put them in a subsidiary legislation. Otherwise, they do not do any harm; it is only that I thought it would have been a neater way of making the law, if we approached the matter in that manner."
