    "content": "7th December, 2017. The deadline was 30th June, 2018 and the Committee approved this regulation on 16th May, 2018. Madam Temporary Speaker, the fifth regulation that we considered was the Land Registration Units Order 2017, by the Ministry of Lands. It was published on 22ndJanuary, 2017 and tabled in this House on 7th December, 2017, with the deadline being 30th June, 2018. It was approved by 16th May, 2018. Madam Temporary Speaker, the other activity we did was statutory instruments for pre-publication scrutiny and we handled three of them. The first was the Intergovernmental Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Regulations 2018 by the Ministry of Devolution and ASAL Areas. This regulation was not gazetted; so it was just pre-publication discussion. This happened on 6th February, 2018. A validation workshop that involved committees of both Houses was held on 22nd to 24th March, 2018. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Devolution and ASAL Areas should proceed with processing of the regulation in accordance with the Statutory Instruments Act. Madam Temporary Speaker, the second instrument that was brought to our Committee for pre-publication scrutiny was The Coffee General Regulations 2018 by the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation. It is not yet gazetted and we received it on 6th July, 2018. The Committee met the Sub-Sector Implementation Committee on 14th November, 2018. The recommendation of the Committee was that the CS for Agriculture and Irrigation should proceed with the processing of the regulations in accordance with the Statutory Instruments Act. Madam Temporary Speaker, the third instrument was the Coffee Exchange Regulations 2018 by the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation. These regulations have also not yet been gazetted, but they were received by the Committee on 6th July, 2018. The Committee also met the Sub-Sector Implementation Committee on 14th November, 2018. The CS for Agriculture and Irrigation should proceed with the processing of the regulations in accordance to the Statutory Instruments Act. Madam Temporary Speaker, the other activity by the Committee is benchmarking visit by county assemblies‟ Committee on Delegated Legislation, facilitated by the Committee. I will just read one objective – because most of the things were the same – and then I will only mention the committees. The first one was Murang‟a County Assembly Committee on Delegated Legislation, which came for the visit on 1st August, 2018. The objective and purpose of the visit was to learn best practices from how the Senate Committee conducts its business. They were also interested in sharing experiences and challenges faced in the approval of subsidiary legislation. There was a general concern that the county executive arm of the county government has been making regulations and using the said regulations without seeking the approval of respective county assemblies. This must stop. Consequently, Madam Temporary Speaker, most of the other committee visits had similar objectives and their remarks were almost similar. Therefore, for the sake of saving time, let me mention the other county assemblies that visited and the dates they visited; given that the stories are the same. Bungoma County Assembly Committee on Delegated Legislation visited on 17th October 2018; the Kisumu County Assembly The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
