    "content": "The third point is that Members also found that these Regulations were discriminatory to the extent that they do not provide for facilitation of all Members of Parliament to undertake monitoring and evaluation as envisaged in Section 24 of the PFM Act. Article 93 of the Constitution of Kenya establishes Parliament – that is both the National Assembly and the Senate. Therefore, they should get equal treatment. The Public Finance Management (PFM) Regulations seek to establish monitoring and evaluation funds specific to the Senate thereby excluding Members of the National Assembly who require similar facilitation to effectively undertake their oversight role. It is therefore the recommendation of the Committee that pursuant to Standing Order No.210(4)(b) and Section 15 of the Statutory Instruments Act, the PFM Regulations and the Senate Monitoring Evaluation Regulations be annulled in its entirety for the aforementioned reasons. I would like to point out that the nullification of the proposed regulations does not prevent the Senate from resubmitting the same regulations but ensuring that the shortcomings are rectified. The Committee on Delegated Legislation is ready to review and scrutinise the regulations once they resubmit them. 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."
