    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Let me also add my voice to congratulate Sen. Farhiya for a very elaborate and well-thought-out report. I seat in the Committee on Finance and Budget with Sen. Farhiya and she is very thorough in whatever she does. The report outlines many issues and challenges but I just want to emphasise the point that Sen. Orengo touched on; that we pass laws and many of those laws we say very clearly that regulations shall be promulgated by various ministries or authorities. In many cases, those regulations and rules are never promulgated. Sometimes they are promulgated but never find their way to us. It will also be good for the Committee to carry out a check on each legislation that we pass. This can be helped by the Clerks-at-the-Table and the research teams, so that where regulations are supposed to be promulgated by any authority under the authority of that law, it must be done and presented to Parliament because the devil is always in the details. A lot of injustice is done to wananchi out there by illegal regulations and by-laws that are always passed and never subjected to the scrutiny of Parliament that has the authority to make law. I want to also encourage that this be done by both the Committee 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."
