    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairperson, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 15 and substituting thereof the following new clause- Notice to the Regulation Making authority 15. In so far as is practically possible, the committee shall in considering a statutory instrument, and before tabling its report in the county assembly, confer with the regulation-making authority which has made the statutory instrument that is before the committee for scrutiny. This is also an amendment that seeks to give the process of scrutiny of regulations in the county assembly. It is the same formula that we use in Parliament. Once you have regulations before a committee, if you have amendments to the regulations, before you make a report to annul those regulations, you invite the regulation making authority and raise your concerns - I speak this as the Chairperson of Delegated legislation in the Senate – they always accede to them and degazette the regulations and amend them in the fashion that you have proposed. Therefore, this has always worked very well for the committees in the National Assembly and in the Senate. We are therefore, providing for the same window that the county assembly committees on delegated legislation shall invite the regulation making authority to appear before them and raise their concerns. If they agree with those regulations, then there is no need for the committee to recommend its annulment to the authority that actually proposed those amendments. The regulation making authority shall right or correct those issues. This is to provide a standard way or procedure so that what is happening in the National Assembly and the Senate is available at the county assemblies so that you are able to fast-track the process of scrutiny of statutory instruments."
