    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Standing Order No.210(4) provides that if the Committee resolves that the instrument be acceded to, the Clerk shall convey that resolution to the relevant State department or the authority that publishes the statutory instrument. If it does not accede to it, the law requires that the Committee also recommends to the House that they have simply resolved that all or part of the instrument be annulled. So far, since we are updating the House, we have been able to accede to 62 instruments. We have been able to communicate the resolution of the Committee in terms of approving those statutory instruments to the institutions that make those regulations through letters that are conveyed from the Office of the Clerk. The instruments before the Committee as at today are the Environment Management and Coordination (E-Waste (Management) Regulations, 2015; and, the Environment Management and Coordination (Waste Tyre) Regulations, 2015. For those two regulations, draft regulations have been forwarded to my Committee. We have gone through the same and have been able to discuss with the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) and the Ministry concerned. We are awaiting their input for our recommendations. Once they forward the same to the Committee, we will either approve or reject the same depending on their presentation in terms of meeting the requirements as stated under the Standing Orders. We also have the draft Kenya Defence Forces Regulations, 2016; the draft Kenya National Commission on Human Rights Regulations, 2016; the draft Election Campaign Finance Regulations, 2016; the draft Political Parties Funding Regulations; the draft Political Parties Registration Regulations; the draft Political Parties Liaison Committee Regulations; and, finally, the Parliamentary Service Senate Monitoring and Evaluation Procedures for Management of Funds Regulations, 2016. Those are the regulations that are before my Committee at various levels of discussion and within a short time, we will make decisions as to whether we will approve them or annul either part or whole instruments."
