    "content": "Section 16 of the Statutory Instrument Act allows the regulatory-making authorities which are the ministries and State organisations to consult with the Committee prior to publishing the regulations. Our Committee encourages ministries to do this when they are in doubt. This will go a long way in saving the Government and the public service resources and time. It will ensure that public programmes do not stall due to annulment of regulations. Alternatively, ministries should choose the legal counsel whom they should engage very carefully. I do not blame the ministries but the legal advisors. When you bring regulations that contravene the Constitution, parent statute and even go beyond powers that have been donated by law, it not only wastes the time of the Committee, but it also causes the Government lots of resources. I am sure the legal counsel who gives the wrong legal advice still gets paid, despite the annulment of the regulations by this Committee."
