    "content": "is a toll order but I have been in discussion with Members of the Committee including the previous Chairman, who hopefully, will continue as Chairman. They are now in a position to come up with a better way of looking at those accounts on a timely basis so that we do not discuss reports of these accounts when it is already too late. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, secondly, the Committee on Delegated Legislation is a very important Committee. There are many laws that are made in this country through instruments by way of delegation. Delegation of the powers of Parliament to enact laws is envisaged under the Constitution, that Parliament can allow other institutions to make laws or regulations. However, if we are not careful, we may give many institutions the opportunity to make regulations that will affect the people or the way we run Government. Therefore, it is important that the Committee on Delegated Legislation is active so that we receive regular reports from them to ensure that even when some of these instruments have not been tabled before Parliament, they go out there and make sure that they are presented before the Senate. Therefore, I support and second this Motion and hope that the Committee will start its work. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was told by Sen. M. Kajwang that we should be in a position to enable this Committee to meet even during the long recess in December because the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in the National Assembly was working over the Christmas period yet our Committee could not be able to hold sittings. This should be looked into so that they have optimal time to consider these matters. with those remarks, I beg to support."
