    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I stand here to support the Motion on drones, I am a member of this Committee. I have attended all the meetings of this the Committee on Delegated Legislation on the regulations we had. Having considered the Civil Aviation (Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems) Regulations, 2017 against the Constitution of Kenya, the Civil Aviation Act, 2013, the Statutory Instruments Act No. 23 of 2013 and the Interpretation and General Provisions Act Chapter 2 which regulate the making, scrutiny and publication of regulations and, having extensively conferred with the regulation-making authority, the Committee recommended that, pursuant to Standing Order No. 210(4)(b) and Section 15(1) of the Statutory Instruments Act, the Civil Aviation (Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems) Regulations, 2017, be annulled in entirety. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the reason among others why we annul these regulations was that there was no public participation. When we visited the KCAA, they confirmed to us that they did not have public participation. Any regulation that is brought to the House without public participation will not be allowed to go. It is mandatory through our Constitution that all regulations must face public participation. There are several other issues the citizens must be involved in and participate at various stages of the legislative process. It makes Government more responsive and responsible. Further, it is worth noting that legal counsel that advise various Government agencies in the Executive are not apprised of the Statutory Instruments Act. These regulations are in outright violation of the Act that governs the making and scrutiny of delegated legislation."
