    "content": "I want Hon. Shollei to listen to me. Hon. Kimunya was playing golf in the morning because he was not here when we were dealing with the Finance Bill. Some of us do not play golf. We ride camels. I want Hon. Shollei to listen to the reasons that we are giving. We do not find any joy when this Committee annuls an important statutory instrument merely because there is lack of adherence to the rule of law. What they have said is so important and critical. The element of public participation must be followed by every Government officer. There is seemingly lack of alertness in the regulation making process and the limits and options which we, as a House, have to adhere to the tenets and spirit of the Constitution. I will consult my sister, at an opportune time, who is the Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation, and the relevant Government agencies to formulate an appropriate mechanism for articulating the common frustration which is experienced by my Office and the Chair and the Committee. We will talk to the Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) individually and Government agencies in future to make sure that the time of the Committee and the House is not wasted. I must be convinced about something in my office. This Committee convinced me not once, twice or three times. I am sure that during this recess, we will sit with Government departments to make sure that they will never bring statutory instruments that violate the Constitution."
