    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I chaired the Committee on Delegated Legislation in the 11th Parliament. Before 2013, I just want Members to know this point because it is important, no institution was required to publish and bring before Parliament any regulation. From 2013, when we passed the Statutory Instruments Act, it became mandatory that any institution vested with the responsibility of making regulations under the statute that institution is operating under must bring those regulations to the House after publishing them. It is not in vain that that law is in place and that the regulations should be brought here. This is so that we can comply with the Constitution to give effect to those regulations to have the force of law. That is the first point. Secondly, I believe that under the CBK Act, there is a provision therein that empowers the Governor to make regulations and rules. That is common in all statutes. There is always a provision to enable an institution to make regulations. So, I think the Governor is within the law The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
