    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also support the annulment of the regulations. It is important that authorities which are given privilege to consider delegated legislation adhere to provisions of our Constitution. Public participation is mandatory. We know that these regulations are enforceable. It is important to give people who will be affected by the regulations adequate opportunity to contribute towards their formulation. Adverts which are put in newspapers to call for memoranda should not be treated as an adequate form of soliciting inputs from the public for formulation of regulations. It is important for us to note that most Kenyans have no access to newspapers. Therefore, I would like to thank the Committee on Delegated Legislation for establishing that there was no adequate public participation in formulation of these regulations. They arrived at the right decision of calling upon this House to annul the regulations."
