    "content": "many chairpersons can borrow a leaf from leaders like me, Hon. Mbadi and Hon. Mbarire who have been in this House for long. So, to achieve optimum success, citizens must be and should be viewed as partners and allies who should be consulted in order to identify critical, practical and beneficial means of achieving the objectives of these regulations. We are making regulations for the interest of the citizens. So, the citizens, through public participation, must identify the practicability and the benefit in terms of achieving the objectives of those regulations. This will not only inspire support and compliance, but also ensure that there is effectiveness in the implementation. I thank Hon. Boss Shollei. Every day, I table pieces of regulations from various agencies. Two months ago, the Ministry of Defence submitted about eight pieces of regulations out of which the able Committee on Delegated Legislation rejected two. They came to my office. We sat with the Cabinet Secretary for Defence and the Clerk of the Committee - a very able legal mind. We took them through the regulations showing them the shortcomings. They went and rectified the errors. Some of the regulations required amendments to the KDF Act. The amendments are in the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill currently before the House. So, that is how we make laws. For effectiveness in terms of implementation, citizens must play an important role. It is not a choice because it is a right they have been given by the Constitution of Kenya. With those many remarks, I beg to support."
