    "content": "On the issue of timely avoidance, you notice that the Statutory Instruments Act has set a certain amount of time within which the Committee must receive the regulations, go through them and then give a report to the House. Normally, the report would be to annul or accept a regulation in its entirety because the Committee has no jurisdiction to make any amendments. I have noted severally that when the House is about to go for recess, that is when some of the regulations are brought to the House. Because of the fact that there is a certain period of time within which the regulations have to be considered and the House is on recess, some of them lapse and then they take the full force of law. As we move forward, it is important we figure out whether we can make some changes to that Act, so that we can allow a longer period to handle every regulation. Any regulation should not be administered before this House pronounces itself on it."
