    "content": "who come in our country and they want to employ people. They want to live in their homes and the rent must be affordable for them. If these regulations had gone through, it would have caused the rent to skyrocket. Another thing the Committee has noted is that in most of the regulations that have been annulled, there was total disregard to public participation and yet, public participation is anchored in Article 118 of the Constitution of Kenya. It states that Parliament must ensure or facilitate public participation. Indeed, the policy towards solar heating is one that should be encouraged through civic education and not forced down the throats of the people of Kenya. Another observation the Committee has noted is that the regulations that are nullified contravene the parent Act. The Committee on Delegated Legislation would be pleased if the ministries and agencies concerned made themselves conversant with the Statutory Instruments Act and also conduct public participation so that we do not have to get to this stage where we are nullifying regulations. With those few remarks, I do support the annulment in entirety of these regulations."
