    "content": "I want to confirm that NTSA did not table before this House the NTSA (Operation of Motorcycle) Regulations, 2015, for ease of reference. The Cabinet Secretary for Transport and Infrastructure transmitted the gazetted NTSA (Operation of Motorcycle) Regulations, 2015 to the National Assembly for tabling as required under Section 11 (1) of the Statutory Instruments Act, 2013. As usual, the Regulations were referred to the Select Committee on Delegated Legislation for scrutiny to see whether they conform to the Constitution and the enabling Act, pursuant to which they are made or any other laws of the country and the principles of good governance and rule of law. The Select Committee on Delegated Legislation held a meeting on Friday 19th June 2015 to scrutinize the said Regulations through which the Committee approved the Regulations having observed that the Regulations are in accordance with the Constitution, the parent Act and other written laws of the country. Pursuant thereto, there was no need for the Committee on Delegated Legislation to table a report. In keeping with our Standing Order No. 210(4) (a), those of you who have copies of the Standing Orders could be looking at them so that the hon. Member for Kiharu may rest. Standing Order No. 210(4) says as follows:– “(4) If the Committee– (a) resolves that the statutory instrument be acceded to; the Clerk shall convey that resolution to the relevant state department or the authority that published the statutory instrument.” Therefore, there is no need for tabling the Regulations. They can only be tabled here if the Committee does not accede to the statutory instrument, in which case the Committee may recommend to the House that the Assembly resolves that all or any part of the statutory instrument be annulled. The rest is provided under that Standing Order. Therefore, the Member for Kiharu is advised that the Clerk of the National Assembly communicated to the Director-General of NTSA on 30th June, 2015 that the Regulations conform to the requirements of the Constitution, the parent Act and all other relevant laws of the country. Therefore, their implementation violates no known law, unless the Member for Kiharu has imagined some recent ones. Indeed, hon. Members, it is fair to commend the Committee on Delegated Legislation. It shows that the Committee has been working. It is only that the methods of doing their work are not always by reports here. I will do the other Communication at the statement stage."
