    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second the Motion for the annulment, in its entirety, of these particular regulations. I will not belabour the point because yesterday, we addressed the issue of public participation. We addressed the issue of the fact that counsel may not be advising relevant ministries or state agencies appropriately. However, one other major concern that we have noted as the Committee on Delegated Legislation is the tendency for these regulations to provide almost astronomical amounts when it comes to fines. There are fines in the realm of Kshs200,000 when, really, the limit is only Kshs20,000. It must be clear to both the ministries and agencies that regulations will not be used as a way to actually collect revenue if, indeed, you do flout these regulations. Flouting of regulations is not supposed to be punitive. These are for criminal offences and not so much for regulations that border on those of a civil nature. With those few remarks, I second."
