    "content": "THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on its consideration of the Public Finance Management (Sports, Arts and Social Development Fund) Regulations, 2018 (Legal Notice No.174 of 2018), laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday, 17th October 2018, and pursuant to the provisions of Section 15(1) of the Statutory Instruments Act, 2013 and Standing Order 210 (4)(b) annuls in entirety the said Regulations. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is the 11th Report of the Committee before the House for consideration out of the 63 that have since been approved. From the outset, I wish to acknowledge with thanks the word of the Speaker commending the Committee on several occasions for its diligence to duty. Indeed, even the Leader of the Majority Party in his statement to the House on 4th October, 2018 acknowledged that the House Business Committee noted with appreciation that the Committee on Delegated Legislation is amongst the committees that concluded and tabled the highest number of reports in the current session. Having said that, allow me to reiterate the mandate of the Select Committee on Delegated Legislation. This Committee is established pursuant to the Standing Order No.210(4)(b) and has the power to scrutinise and certify that all regulations submitted to the National Assembly are in compliance with the Constitution and all other Acts of Parliament. On the Regulations before us, the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012, Section 2(4), allows the Cabinet Secretary of the National Treasury to establish a national Government public fund with the approval of the National Assembly. In exercise of these powers, the CS of the National Treasury gazetted the current Regulations, the Public Finance Management (Sports, Art and Social Development Fund) Regulations, 2018 through the Legal Notice No.174 of 2018 on 10th August 2018. Following the gazettement, these Regulations were tabled in the House on 15th August 2018 in compliance with the Statutory Instruments Act, 2013 Section 11(1). The House then committed these Regulations to the Select Committee on Delegated Legislation for review and scrutiny and to ensure compliance with the Constitution and the law. I will just highlight two important parts of these Regulations that are in question. 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."
