    "content": "gazettement as required under the Statutory Instruments Act. Also, it is good to familiarise ourselves with what the Statutory Instruments Act says. For instance, it states that an instrument- making body is allowed to publish in the Gazette. It is important we all familiarise ourselves with that. Once they are tabled before the National Assembly, they assume the force of law because they have the authority of the Statutory Instruments Act until annulled. And anything done on the authority of those instruments until annulled is legal and lawful. That is the point Hon. Kajwang’ raised with regard to the statutory instruments. It is for that reason that I redirect those instruments, which are all finance-related - they relate to ways and means - to be considered by the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning because it is the same committee that is considering the Finance Bill. According to me, the PFM Act, 2012 has to be passed by the House within 90 days after the Appropriation Bill is assented to and becomes an Act. It was assented on Friday last week. So, from Friday last week, we have 90 days within which to pass the Finance Bill and do public participation. The public participation is assumed in the saving clause of Section 7 of the Sixth Schedule. It is deemed to have happened even in this law which was enacted in 1959 as revised in 2015. They are saved and they are to be interpreted with variations and adaptations as are necessary and in conformity with the Constitution. Look at Section 7."
