    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the problem is that – I have a lot of sympathy with Sen. Mugo – sometimes when you make regulations, there is a structure whereby one regulation may be dependent on another. If you begin to cannibalise the regulations piece by piece, the result of what you have done may not make a lot sense. For example, from what I understand from what Sen. Mugo said is that the question of pictograms is one way of controlling the tobacco industry and products. If on that very issue you have annulled a regulation and, to that effect, the Cabinet Secretary does not bring back the changes with a new version, it means that the work that you have done amounts to nothing. Therefore, I thought that the best way of doing was that if you do not approve any of the regulations, then the entire regulations must go back to the Cabinet Secretary to look at them again before bringing them back. When you do piecemeal work to do with a subsidiary legislation, sometimes you may find that the core regulation is not handled. For example, in election petition before, you will find some regulations which are the core regulations in terms of election petitions. If they are annulled and then the Cabinet Secretary says that he or she will proceed on the basis of the ones approved and leave out those not approved, then, probably even the object of the Act may be defeated. I think Sen. Mugo is talking with so much passion because I know what she has done in the industry. She was being fought very hard by the tobacco industry. I know that they will never let an issue like this one go without some participation. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
