"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the annulment of these regulations. I want to declare that I am Member of this Committee. We took our time to go through these regulations –the process of preparing them and the mandate given to the CS to make regulations. As the Chairman has ably observed, it exceeded the mandate given in the Act. We found this a gross contravention of the legislation. As you also observed, that is the mandate of this august House. The CS can only make regulations as provided in the Act. So, anything that is done outside the parent Act contravenes the law. That is why we decided to annul them. There are Cabinet Secretaries who are given mandate to make regulations and they take it seriously; they do their homework very well. When they come to do the presentation, you can see they have understood the mandate given to them. I have even looked at the other pieces The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
