    "content": "The Cabinet Secretary (CS) made the assumption that we would approve the regulations that create the Tourism Promotion Fund before they come before the House. I must say that whichever convoluted order in which regulations are brought, they are doomed to fail. Even if we pass them, they would not survive the court challenge. They would remain an illegality. Furthermore, Regulation 15 provides for an Oversight Board that may be established by the CS relating to this Tourism Promotion Fund. It also gives that Oversight Board the power to impose such penalties, including the suspension of the funding. However, the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act does not give any such authority to the CS. This is clearly in contravention with Section 13 of the Statutory Instruments Act which provides that any imposition of a fine, imprisonment or other penalty cannot be done without the authority of the enabling parent statute."
